| @item |
| This function is missing on some platforms: |
| IRIX 6.5, mingw, MSVC 14. |
| @item |
| glibc and Android have two different functions @code{basename}: the POSIX |
| version and the GNU version. |
| @item |
| @code{basename} assumes file names in POSIX syntax; it does not work with file |
| names in Windows syntax. |

| |
| The Gnulib module @code{dirname} provides similar API, with function |
| @code{base_name}, that also works with Windows file names. |
