This manual page documents the GNU version of b\bba\bas\bse\ben\bna\bam\bme\be.
The b\bba\bas\bse\ben\bna\bam\bme\be command removes any leading path from _\bn_\ba_\bm_\be;
If _\bs_\bu_\bf_\bf_\bi_\bx is specified and is identical to the end of
_\bn_\ba_\bm_\be, it is removed from _\bn_\ba_\bm_\be as well. b\bba\bas\bse\ben\bna\bam\bme\be prints
the resulting name on the standard output.
