     DESCRIPTION
          This documentation is no longer being maintained and may be
          inaccurate or incomplete.  The Texinfo documentation is now
          the authoritative source.

          This manual page documents the GNU version of dirname.
          dirname prints all but the final slash-delimited component
          of filename.  If filename is a single component, dirname
          prints `.' (meaning the current directory).

        OPTIONS
          --help
               Print a usage message on standard output and exit
               successfully.

          --version
               Print version information on standard output then exit
               successfully.
