dirname

Calculates the parent directory of a file or directory path. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/dirname.

  • 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 --zero {{path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ...}}
