+@itemize
+@item
+This function is missing on some platforms:
+IRIX 6.5, Solaris 2.5.1, mingw, BeOS.
+@item
+glibc has two different functions @code{basename}: the POSIX version and
+the GNU version.
+@item
+@code{basename} assumes file names in POSIX syntax; it does not work with file
+names in Windows syntax.
