method basename
Documentation for method basename
assembled from the following types:
class IO::Path
From IO::Path
(IO::Path) method basename
Defined as:
method basename(IO::Path:)
Returns the basename part of the path object, which is the name of the filesystem object itself that is referenced by the path.
"docs/README.pod".IO.basename.say; # OUTPUT: «README.pod»"/tmp/".IO.basename.say; # OUTPUT: «tmp»

semantics, the basename
of a Windows share is \
, not the name of the share itself:
IO::Path::Win32.new('//server/share').basename.say; # OUTPUT: «\»
class IO::Spec::Unix
From IO::Spec::Unix
(IO::Spec::Unix) method basename
Defined as:
method basename(Str --> Str)
Takes a path as a string and returns a possibly-empty portion after the last slash:
IO::Spec::Unix.basename("foo/bar/") .perl.say; # OUTPUT: «""»IO::Spec::Unix.basename("foo/bar/.").perl.say; # OUTPUT: «"."»IO::Spec::Unix.basename("foo/bar") .perl.say; # OUTPUT: «"bar"»
class IO::Spec::Win32
From IO::Spec::Win32
(IO::Spec::Win32) method basename
Defined as:
method basename(Str --> Str)
Takes a path as a string and returns a possibly-empty portion after the last slash or backslash:
IO::Spec::Win32.basename("foo/bar/") .perl.say; # OUTPUT: «""»IO::Spec::Win32.basename("foo/bar\\").perl.say; # OUTPUT: «""»IO::Spec::Win32.basename("foo/bar/.").perl.say; # OUTPUT: «"."»IO::Spec::Win32.basename("foo/bar") .perl.say; # OUTPUT: «"bar"»
