- =head1 NAME
-
- Basename - parse file specifications
-
- fileparse - split a pathname into pieces
-

-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use File::Basename;
-
- ($name,$path,$suffix) = fileparse($fullname,@suffixlist)
- fileparse_set_fstype($os_string);
- $basename = basename($fullname,@suffixlist);
- $dirname = dirname($fullname);
-
- ($name,$path,$suffix) = fileparse("lib/File/Basename.pm","\.pm");
- fileparse_set_fstype("VMS");
- $basename = basename("lib/File/Basename.pm",".pm");
- $dirname = dirname("lib/File/Basename.pm");
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- These routines allow you to parse file specifications into useful
- pieces using the syntax of different operating systems.
-
- =over 4
-
- =item fileparse_set_fstype
-
- You select the syntax via the routine fileparse_set_fstype().
- If the argument passed to it contains one of the substrings
- "VMS", "MSDOS", or "MacOS", the file specification syntax of that
- operating system is used in future calls to fileparse(),
- basename(), and dirname(). If it contains none of these
- substrings, UNIX syntax is used. This pattern matching is
- case-insensitive. If you've selected VMS syntax, and the file
- specification you pass to one of these routines contains a "/",
- they assume you are using UNIX emulation and apply the UNIX syntax
- rules instead, for that function call only.
-
- If you haven't called fileparse_set_fstype(), the syntax is chosen
- by examining the "osname" entry from the C<Config> package
- according to these rules.
-
- =item fileparse
-
- The fileparse() routine divides a file specification into three
- parts: a leading B<path>, a file B<name>, and a B<suffix>. The
- B<path> contains everything up to and including the last directory
- separator in the input file specification. The remainder of the input
- file specification is then divided into B<name> and B<suffix> based on
- the optional patterns you specify in C<@suffixlist>. Each element of
- this list is interpreted as a regular expression, and is matched
- against the end of B<name>. If this succeeds, the matching portion of
- B<name> is removed and prepended to B<suffix>. By proper use of
- C<@suffixlist>, you can remove file types or versions for examination.
-
- You are guaranteed that if you concatenate B<path>, B<name>, and
- B<suffix> together in that order, the result will be identical to the
- input file specification.

- =head1 EXAMPLES
-
- Using UNIX file syntax:
-
- ($base,$path,$type) = fileparse('/virgil/aeneid/draft.book7',
- '\.book\d+');
-
- would yield
-
- $base eq 'draft'
- $path eq '/virgil/aeneid',
- $tail eq '.book7'
-
- Similarly, using VMS syntax:
-
- ($name,$dir,$type) = fileparse('Doc_Root:[Help]Rhetoric.Rnh',
- '\..*');
-
- would yield
-
- $name eq 'Rhetoric'
- $dir eq 'Doc_Root:[Help]'
- $type eq '.Rnh'
-
- =item C<basename>
-
- The basename() routine returns the first element of the list produced
- by calling fileparse() with the same arguments. It is provided for
- compatibility with the UNIX shell command basename(1).
-
- =item C<dirname>
-
- The dirname() routine returns the directory portion of the input file
- specification. When using VMS or MacOS syntax, this is identical to the
- second element of the list produced by calling fileparse() with the same
- input file specification. When using UNIX or MSDOS syntax, the return
- value conforms to the behavior of the UNIX shell command dirname(1). This
- is usually the same as the behavior of fileparse(), but differs in some
- cases. For example, for the input file specification F<lib/>, fileparse()
- considers the directory name to be F<lib/>, while dirname() considers the
- directory name to be F<.>).

-
- # fileparse() - parse file specification
- #
- # calling sequence:
- # ($filename,$prefix,$tail) = &basename_pat($filespec,@excludelist);
- # where $filespec is the file specification to be parsed, and
- # @excludelist is a list of patterns which should be removed
- # from the end of $filename.
- # $filename is the part of $filespec after $prefix (i.e. the
- # name of the file). The elements of @excludelist
- # are compared to $filename, and if an
- # $prefix is the path portion $filespec, up to and including
- # the end of the last directory name
- # $tail any characters removed from $filename because they
- # matched an element of @excludelist.
- #
- # fileparse() first removes the directory specification from $filespec,
- # according to the syntax of the OS (code is provided below to handle
- # VMS, Unix, MSDOS and MacOS; you can pick the one you want using
- # fileparse_set_fstype(), or you can accept the default, which is
- # based on the information in the %Config array). It then compares
- # each element of @excludelist to $filename, and if that element is a
- # suffix of $filename, it is removed from $filename and prepended to
- # $tail. By specifying the elements of @excludelist in the right order,
- # you can 'nibble back' $filename to extract the portion of interest
- # to you.
- #
- # For example, on a system running Unix,
- # ($base,$path,$type) = fileparse('/virgil/aeneid/draft.book7',
- # '\.book\d+');
- # would yield $base == 'draft',
- # $path == '/virgil/aeneid/' (note trailing slash)
- # $tail == '.book7'.
- # Similarly, on a system running VMS,
- # ($name,$dir,$type) = fileparse('Doc_Root:[Help]Rhetoric.Rnh','\..*');
- # would yield $name == 'Rhetoric';
- # $dir == 'Doc_Root:[Help]', and
- # $type == '.Rnh'.
