Parses a file's path, returning its three component pieces: the path to the file, the file's basename, and the file's extension. For example, for:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/SelectSaver.pm
the path is /usr/local/lib/perl5, the basename is SelectSaver, and the extension is .pm. File::Basename exports the following functions.
| basename |
basename (fullname[, suffixlist])
Returns the first element of the list that would be produced if you called fileparse with the same arguments. Provides compatibility with the Unix basename command. Takes the following arguments:
| dirname |
dirname (fullname)
Returns the directory portion of the input file specification. fullname is the input file specification.
| fileparse |
fileparse (fullname[, suffixlist])
Divides a file specification into its three parts, returning them in this order: filename, path, suffix.
($name, $path, $suffix) = fileparse($fullname, @suffixlist)
The arguments are the same as for basename.
| fileparse_set_fstype |
fileparse_set_fstype (os-string)
Called before the other routines to select the appropriate file specification syntax for your operating system, to be used in future File::Basename calls. Currently valid values for os-string (the operating system) are VMS, MSWin32, MSDOS, AmigaOS, os2, RISCOS, and MacOS. Uses Unix syntax by default.
