Basename

basename is a common program found on Unix systems. Given a pathname, it will return the name of the file that the pathname refers to. For example, basename /home/john/pictures/cat.jpg will return cat.jpg . Although this seems fairly obvious to humans, basename is a useful tool in shell scripts.
