   Return the last file name component of NAME, allocated with
   xmalloc.  On systems with drive letters, a leading "./"
   distinguishes relative names that would otherwise look like a drive
   letter.  Unlike POSIX basename(), NAME cannot be NULL,
   base_name("") returns "", and the first trailing slash is not
   stripped.

   if the sequence { chdir (dir_name (NAME));
