S6-BASENAME(1)

📦 version 2.3.1.2, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 s6-basename — the basename one, but make it s6

okay so this is s6-basename, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section (1) — the classic "commands you just type" neighborhood. It's the s6-portable-utils glow-up of a utility you already know and love, and honestly? she ate. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s6-basename [-n] path [suffix]

bestie, that's the whole vibe: hand her a path, optionally hand her a suffix, and she'll give you the basename. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

s6-basename acts as the generic basename[1] utility. That's it, that's the whole personality — she's the standard basename you know, showing up in s6-portable-utils form. No cap. 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

🎀 Standard options

None. Literally none. Zero. The standard option list is empty and she's at peace with that. 🙈

💅 Non-standard options

  • -n — do not print a trailing newline after the output. That's the one. That's the whole non-standard menu. Main character energy. 👑

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

  • 111 — temporary error. Like, it might work next time, give it a sec. 🕐
  • 100 — permanent error, such as a misuse. You did something she can't forgive. 😭
  • 127 — unable to execute program — not found. Where did it go?? 💀
  • 126 — unable to execute program — other reason. It's there, but it's being difficult. 🙃

s6-basename is suitable as a basename[1] program conforming to . — yes that's literally how it reads, trailing blank and all, I'm not out here editing the source, bestie. 🌸
