basename()

[Captain Pugwash]

What is the official position on using basename() in STDC99 programs on
Linux?

I find contrary to the man pages, if I use string.h, I still get an
implicit declaration for using basename() in my programs.

Why?

basename is not Std C, it is POSIX and declared in libgen.h

Actually as 'man 3 basename' reveales there is also a Gnu version in
string.h, if you #define _GNU_SOURCE
