<para>
Given a string containing the path to a file or directory, this function
will return the trailing name component.
</para>
<note>
<para>
<function>basename</function> operates naively on the input string,
and is not aware of the actual filesystem, or path components such
as "<literal>..</literal>".
</para>
</note>
<caution>
<para>
<function>basename</function> is locale aware, so for it to see the
correct basename with multibyte character paths, the matching locale must
be set using the <function>setlocale</function> function.
If <parameter>path</parameter> contains characters which are invalid for the
current locale, the behavior of <function>basename</function> is undefined.
</para>

A path.
</para>
<para>
On Windows, both slash (<literal>/</literal>) and backslash
(<literal>\</literal>) are used as directory separator character. In
other environments, it is the forward slash (<literal>/</literal>).

If the name component ends in <parameter>suffix</parameter> this will also
