, in epel 10, fedora 43, fedora 44

okay so welcome to the dirname(1) page, straight outta the General Commands Manual 🫶 this one is short, sweet, and iconic — no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

dirname — strip last component from file name 💅 that's literally the whole job, bestie.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dirname [-z|--zero] [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [dir]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

bestie, it strips the last component from a file name ✨ that's the main character move. periodt.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -z, --zero — separate output with NUL rather than newline 💀 (NUL, not newline, iykyk)
  • -h, --help — Print help 🥰
  • -V, --version — Print version 🌟

🌈 EXTRA 🌈

so for each NAME, it outputs NAME with its last non-slash component and trailing slashes removed 🧚 and if NAME contains no /'s, it outputs . (meaning the current directory). that's the tea ☕

⭐ VERSION ⭐

v(uutils coreutils) 0.7.0

that's the version, bestie 💜

and that's the dirname(1) page from uutils coreutils, version 0.7.0 — the footer didn't have a date, but it's giving 0.7.0 energy, mwah 💋🦋
