# A replacement for basename(1). Not all the systems I use have this
# program. Usage: basename [path] {extension}
function basename ()
{
local path="$1"
local suffix="$2"
local tpath="${path%/}"
# Strip trailing '/' characters from path (unusual that this should
# ever occur, but basename(1) seems to deal with it.)
while [ "${tpath}" != "${path}" ]; do
tpath="${path}"
path="${tpath%/}"
done
path="${path##*/}" # Strip off pathname
echo ${path%${suffix}} # Also strip off extension, if any.
