Command line utility does likewise: viggo:~/>basename ./ . Point is, I gather, that trailing slashes are removed, e.g., viggo:~/>basename foo/ foo So, not a bug.

Indeed. The rationale is that foo/bar/ specifies a directory "bar" at
the path "/foo", hence the name is "bar" ("" would make no sense of
course).
