This function is missing on some platforms:
|
|
IRIX 6.5, Solaris 2.5.1, mingw, MSVC 9, BeOS.

glibc has two different functions @code{basename}: the POSIX version and
|
|
the GNU version.
|
|
@item
|
|
@code{basename} assumes file names in POSIX syntax; it does not work with file
|
|
names in Windows syntax.

@end itemize

The Gnulib module @code{dirname} provides similar API, with function
|
|
@code{base_name}, that also works with Windows file names.
