Description Joseph Myers 2015-05-21 15:41:29 UTC 
The function basename is the GNU version, and __xpg_basename (with redirects in libgen.h) is the XPG version.  But under POSIX, functions not involving types defined in a header can be declared and used directly.  So (with appropriate symbol versions to support existing binaries) plain basename should get the XPG function and __gnu_basename should be the GNU version.
