+.TH BASENAME 1 
+.CT 1 shell
+.SH NAME
+basename, dirname \- strip filename affixes
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B basename
+.I string
+[
+.I suffix
+]
+.PP
+.B dirname
+.I string
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions split off useful parts of a pathname;
+they are typically used inside substitution marks
+.BR `\ `
+in shell scripts.
+.PP
+.I Basename
+deletes any prefix ending in 
+.L /
+and the
+.I suffix,
+if present in
+.I string,
+from
+.I string,
+and prints the result on the standard output.
+.PP
+.I Dirname
+places on standard output the name of the directory in which
+a file named
+.I string
+would nominally be found.
+The calculation is syntactic and independent of
+the contents of the file system.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.TP
+.L
+cc $1 -o `basename $1 .c`
+Compile into 
+.LR file ,
+where
+.L $1
+is
