I've checked C implementation of dirname() on NetBSD and it returns "/", as does dirname(1). dirname(1) on Solaris prints "/", too. So the POSIX.2 correct answer is probably to return "/".

Didn't know this is actually a standard :) I guess your argument is by far the best and it's probably best to go with POSIX on this one. Andi --- Andi Gutmans <andi@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
