|
- Calculate the parent directory of a given path:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`dirname {{path/to/file_or_directory}}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Calculate the parent directory of multiple paths:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`dirname {{path/to/file_a}} {{path/to/directory_b}}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Delimit output with a NUL character instead of a newline (useful when combining with `xargs`):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`dirname --zero {{path/to/directory_a}} {{path/to/file_b}}`
|
