get_basename

Gets the base name (the last component of the path) for a given File.

If called for the top level of a system (such as the filesystem root or a uri like sftp://host/) it will return a single directory separator (and on Windows, possibly a drive letter).

The base name is a byte string (not UTF-8). It has no defined encoding or rules other than it may not contain zero bytes. If you want to use filenames in a user interface you should use the display name that you can get by requesting the g_file_attribute_standard_display_name attribute with query_info.

This call does no blocking I/O.

Parameters:

this	input File

Returns:

string containing the File's base name, or null if given File is invalid. The returned string should be freed with g_free when no longer needed.
