NOTES
  There  are  two  different  versions  of basename() - the POSIX version
  described above, and the GNU version, which one gets after

      #define _GNU_SOURCE         /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
      #include <string.h>

  The GNU version never modifies its  argument,  and  returns  the  empty
  string  when  path has a trailing slash, and in particular also when it
  is "/".  There is no GNU version of dirname().

  With glibc, one gets the POSIX version of basename() when <libgen.h> is
  included, and the GNU version otherwise.
