in reply to File system nomenclature. Death to path!

I see things this way:

  • A $path is a definition that leads up to a $file.
  • A $dir is a $file.
  • A $file is something you can open and do a file test on.
  • $filename is loosely taken as the name that comes after the last $path separator.
  • $dirname is loosely taken as everything that comes prior to the last $path separator.
