getBasename(
bsl::string* leaf,
std::string_view const& path,
int rootEnd = -1);Load into the specified leaf the value of the rightmost name in the specified path that follows the root; that is, the leaf element. If the optionally specified rootEnd offset is non-negative, it is taken as the position in path of the character following the root. Return 0 on success, and a non-zero value otherwise; in particular, return nonzero if path does not have a leaf. Note that getBasename is a synonym for getLeaf. See []and Performance). See also for the definition of leaf and root.
