the string used is a single slash, as in @option{-F /}.
-@var{string} may have more than one character, as in @option{-F ...}.

Also, in the particular case when @var{string} is empty (@option{-F ""}),
truncation flagging is disabled, and no truncation marks are appended in
this case.

The processing of @samp{\u} and @samp{\U} requires a full-featured
@code{iconv} facility. It is activated on systems with glibc 2.2 (or newer),
@example
basename @var{name} [@var{suffix}]
-basename @var{option}... @var{name}...
+basename @var{option}@dots{} @var{name}@dots{}
@end example
If @var{suffix} is specified and is identical to the end of @var{name},
prints @samp{.} (meaning the current directory). Synopsis:
@example
-dirname [@var{option}] @var{name}...
+dirname [@var{option}] @var{name}@dots{}
@end example
@var{name} need not be a file name, but if it is, this operation
