A more based version of basename

basedname

This is a more based version of the standard unix tool basename. It is intended to simply be a reimplementation of it with some extra flags for fun.

Examples

basedname -f "malware.exe"            # malware
basedname -f "malware.mp4.exe"        # malware.mp4
basedname -f "malware.mp4.exe" -m 1   # malware.mp4
basedname -f "malware.mp4.exe" -m 2   # malware
echo "malware.mp4" | basedname        # malware

Build Instructions

As with most rust projects, it's a simple:

cargo build --release

You may also use the Makefile:

make             # just builds it
make install     # installs it to ~/.local/bin
make link        # symlinks the built file to ~/.local/bin

Roadmap

• Add flags from original basename so it can be used as a drop in replacement
• Rename cli::Args::arg_parse() to cli::Args::parse()
• Add a cli flag so it gathers all extensions
• Return file extension alone
