NAME
       pmlogbasename - basename of a PCP archive

SYNOPSIS
       pmlogbasename name

DESCRIPTION
       pmlogbasename takes name (usually the name of one of the physical files
       in a PCP archive) and strips it of any compression suffixes then strips
       it of any PCP archive component suffixes, then reports the result (the
       basename of a PCP archive) on standard output.

       The compression suffixes known to PCP are: .xz, .lzma, .bz2, .bz, .gz,
       .Z and .z.

       The PCP archive component suffixes are: .meta, .index and .<n> for any
       integer <n>.

       The stripping is purely textual and is done without tests for the
       existence of any of the associated files, although if name does not
       match the pattern of a valid file name for a PCP archive then the
       output is name without any stripping.
