.Usage
gFileGetBasename(object)

GFile
's base name, or NULL

Details
If called for the top level of a system (such as the filesystem root
or a uri like sftp://host/) it will return a single directory separator
(and on Windows, possibly a drive letter).
The base name is a byte string (*not* UTF-8). It has no defined encoding
or rules other than it may not contain zero bytes. If you want to use
filenames in a user interface you should use the display name that you
can get by requesting the G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_STANDARD_DISPLAY_NAME
attribute with gFileQueryInfo
.
This call does no blocking i/o.
