POSIX.2 requires that if "." or ".." are specified as the basename portion of an operand, a diagnostic message be written to standard error, etc. We strip the slashes because POSIX.2 defines basename as the final portion of a pathname after trailing slashes have been removed. This also makes rm "perform actions equivalent to" the POSIX.1 rmdir() and unlink() functions when removing directories and files, even when they do not follow POSIX.1's pathname resolution semantics (which require trailing slashes be ignored). |
