@findex dirname

POSIX specification:@* @url{https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/dirname.html}

Gnulib module: ---

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@end itemize

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
IRIX 6.5, mingw, MSVC 14.
@item
@code{dirname} assumes file names in POSIX syntax; it does not work with file
names in Windows syntax.
@end itemize

The Gnulib module @code{dirname} provides similar API, with functions
@code{dir_name} and @code{mdir_name}, that also works with Windows
file names.
