gFileGetBasename {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gFileGetBasename

### Description

Gets the base name (the last component of the path) for a given `GFile`.

### Usage

    gFileGetBasename(object)

### Arguments

``object`` | input `GFile`.

### Details

If called for the top level of a system (such as the filesystem root or a uri like sftp://host/) it will return a single directory separator (and on Windows, possibly a drive letter).

The base name is a byte string (*not* UTF-8). It has no defined encoding or rules other than it may not contain zero bytes. If you want to use filenames in a user interface you should use the display name that you can get by requesting the `G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_DISPLAY_NAME` attribute with `gFileQueryInfo`.

This call does no blocking i/o.

### Value

[char] string containing the `GFile`'s base name, or `NULL` if given `GFile` is invalid.
