|
|
- 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_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ...}}`
|
|
|
|
- Delimit output with a NUL character instead of a newline (useful when combining with `xargs`):
|
|
|
|
`dirname {{[-z|--zero]}} {{path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ...}}`
