<p>The <code>basename</code> command deletes any prefix ending with the last slash "/" character present in string and also a suffix.
</p>
<h2>Usage<h2>
<p>The default basename command syntax is:
<pre>
basename [flags] [string] [suffix]
</pre>
Where [flags] are the cat flags, read below for more info, the string command is the pathname and the suffix, if indicated, will be also deleted.
</p>
<h2>Flags<h2>
<p>Here are some of the most common basename flags:
<ul>
<li> <b>-a</b>: Every aregument is treated as a string </li>
<li> <b>-s</b>: The suffix is taken as its argument </li>
<li> <b>-a</b>: Supports multiple arguments and they will be treated as a name </li>
</ul>
</p>
