| <h2><a name="echo">Dirname</a></h2> |
| <h3>Description</h3> |
| <p> |
| Task to determine the directory path of a specified file. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| When this task executes, it will set the specified property to the |
| value of the specified file (or directory) up to, but not including, |
| the last path element. If the specified file is a path that ends in a |
| filename, the filename will be dropped. If the specified file is just |
| a filename, the directory will be the current directory. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <em>Note:</em> This is not the same as the UNIX dirname command, which is |
| defined as "strip non-directory suffix from filename". <dirname> |
| determines the full directory path of the specified file. |
| </p> |

| <h3>Examples</h3> |
| <pre> <dirname property="antfile.dir" file="${ant.file}"/></pre> |
| will set <code>antfile.dir</code> to the directory path for |
| <code>${ant.file}</code>. |
| <pre> <dirname property="foo.dirname" file="foo.txt"/></pre> |
| will set <code>foo.dirname</code> to the project's basedir.</p> |
