NAME

pmlogbasename - basename of a PCP archive

SYNOPSIS

pmlogbasename name

DESCRIPTION

pmlogbasename takes name (usually the name of one of the physical files in a PCP archive) and strips it of any compression suffixes then strips it of any PCP archive component suffixes, then reports the result (the basename of a PCP archive) on standard output.

The compression suffixes known to PCP are: .xz , .lzma , .bz2 , .bz , .gz , .Z and .z .

The PCP archive component suffixes are: .meta , .index and . <n> for any integer <n> .

The stripping is purely textual and is done without tests for the existence of any of the associated files, although if name does not match the pattern of a valid file name for a PCP archive then the output is name without any stripping.
