+# The `basename` command
+
+The `basename` is a command-line utility that strips directory from given file names. Optionally, it can also remove any trailing suffix. It is a simple command that accepts only a few options.
+
+### Examples
+
+The most basic example is to print the file name with the leading directories removed:
+
+```bash
+basename /etc/bar/foo.txt
+```
+
+The output will include the file name:
+
+```bash
+foo.txt
+```
+
+If you run basename on a path string that points to a directory, you will get the last segment of the path. In this example, /etc/bar is a directory.
+
+```bash
+basename /etc/bar
+```
+
+Output
+
+```bash
+bar
+```
+
+The basename command removes any trailing `/` characters:
+
+```bash
+basename /etc/bar/foo.txt/
+```
+
+Output
+
+```bash
+foo.txt
+```
+
+### Options
+
+1. By default, each output line ends in a newline character. To end the lines with NUL, use the -z (--zero) option.
+
+```bash
+$ basename -z /etc/bar/foo.txt
+foo.txt$
+```
+
+2. The `basename` command can accept multiple names as arguments. To do so, invoke the command with the `-a` (`--multiple`) option, followed by the list of files separated by space. For example, to get the file names of `/etc/bar/foo.txt` and `/etc/spam/eggs.docx` you would run:
+
+```bash
+basename -a /etc/bar/foo.txt /etc/spam/eggs.docx
+```
+
+```bash
+foo.txt
+eggs.docx
+```
+
+### Syntax
+
+The basename command supports two syntax formats:
+
+```bash
+basename NAME [SUFFIX]
+basename OPTION... NAME...
+```
+
+### Additional functionalities
+
+**Removing a Trailing Suffix**: To remove any trailing suffix from the file name, pass the suffix as a second argument:
+
+```bash
+basename /etc/hostname name
+host
+```
+
+Generally, this feature is used to strip file extensions
