# dirname
> Calculates the parent directory of a given 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_a}} {{path/to/directory_b}}`
- Delimit output with a NUL character instead of a newline (useful when combining with `xargs`):
`dirname --zero {{path/to/directory_a}} {{path/to/file_b}}`
