| Aug 2, 2014 at 22:02 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @Tim The word “basename” has two meanings. It can mean the part of the pathname without any leading directories, i.e. tim.pdf. Or it can mean the part of the base name (in the previous sense) without the extension, i.e. tim. | |
| Aug 2, 2014 at 21:35 | comment | added | Tim | @Gilles: thanks. (1) What is a "basename" of a file? (2) In a filename "tim.pdf", what is "tim" called for the filename? Is "pdf" called the extension name of the filename? | |

| Jul 29, 2014 at 1:39 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @Gnouc You stated that “they use filename and pathname interchangeable”, which is not at all the case. Any filename is also a pathname, but the converse is not true. | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 1:24 | comment | added | cuonglm | So Why did you say my answer is wrong? | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 1:23 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @Gnouc tim.pdf is a pathname. Any filename is a pathname. | |
| Jul 29, 2014 at 1:22 | comment | added | cuonglm | So /home/tim/tim.pdf is pathname, and tim.pdf is not pathname? I think filename is only special case of pathname. And why in 4.6 Filenames section, they use pathname: pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009604499/basedefs/… | |
