DIRNAME(3) | NetBSD Library Functions Manual | DIRNAME(3) |
If path does not contain a ‘/', then dirname() returns a pointer to the string “.”.
If path is a null pointer or points to an empty string, dirname() returns a pointer to the string “.”.
The dirname() function returns a pointer to static storage that may be overwritten by subsequent calls to dirname(). This is not strictly a bug; it is explicitly allowed by IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”).
