awk
Portability
The parser stack depth is limited to 150 levels. Attempting to process extremely
complicated programs may result in an overflow of this stack, causing an error.
Input must be text files.

The ord function is an extension to traditional implementations of awk. The
toupper and tolower functions and the ENVIRON array are in POSIX and the
UNIX System V Release 4 version of awk. This version is a superset of New awk,
as described in The AWK Programming Language by Aho, Weinberger, and
Kernighan.
The standard command interpreter that the system function uses and that awk uses
to run pipelines for getline, print, and printf is system-dependent. On z/OS UNIX,
this interpreter is always /bin/sh.

basename — Return the nondirectory components of a pathname
Format
Description
Examples
Localization
basename name [suffix]
basename strips off the leading part of a pathname, leaving only the final
component of the name, which is assumed to be the filename. To accomplish this,
basename first checks to see if name consists of nothing but slash (/) characters.
If so, basename replaces name with a single slash and the process is complete. If
not, basename removes trailing slashes. If slashes still remain, basename strips off
all leading characters up to and including the final slash. Finally, if you specify suffix
and the remaining portion of name contains a suffix that matches suffix, basename
removes that suffix.
The command:
basename src/dos/printf.c
produces:
printf.c
basename uses the following localization environment variables:
v LANG
v LC_ALL
v LC_CTYPE
v LC_MESSAGES
