+Subject: [PATCH] drop all uses of basename(2)
+
+the POSIX variant of basename(2) can freely write
+to the string it is passed. in all call sites, we
+were passing a const char* ultimately sourced
+from argv[0], to which we must not write. the GNU
+variant doesn't have this behavior, but we can't
+assume that variant on e.g. musl.
+
+so just drop the basename() calls entirely. they
+didn't add much, and arguably lost information.
+
+thanks to znley and celeste of alpine for bringing
+this to my attention in
