Agreed. It has nothing at all to do with basename() anymore,
which is a C function probably written in 1 line of C like this:
char * basename(char *pathname){return (strrchr(pathname) +1)};
I think I'd have rather written it myself than generated all this
bull about info.
The fact the argument exists is testament that the documentation
system, standard or not, accessible or not, is NOT good enough
for general users period regardless of how one person or 10000
can use it easily, in or out of emacs.
The Borland C 3.1 help system from 9 years ago is much much
easier to use, and more user friendly. Put the cursor on a
function name, press CTRL-F1, and the manual comes up for it,
with links to example code, etc. A dough-head could use it.
Sigh. I guess it is pointless arguing about it...

Agreed. That just shows that this is a true Linux development
list. There must be some damned good work being done out there
for us all to be proud of. If you compare us to linux-kernel for
example.
