This definitely make sense

fstab
The net effect is that just the output has changed to omit the path
name.
Maybe this wants to be a --strip or -p option like with diff or patch,
or --basename-only to strip a variable number of components, leaving
only
the last.
This seems to be a better approach indeed. I just sent a new patch using
base_name from coreutils itself.
The GNU Datamash program can do basename and dirname on a column of a
text file, producing the wanted results (and more):
$ md5sum /etc/fstab world.txt | datamash -W --full basename 2 dirname 2
b50f98cdf2d6e26a99040ad5386b0884 /etc/fstab fstab /etc
b1946ac92492d2347c6235b4d2611184 world.txt world.txt .
And this will work on any input without the need to duplicate
functionality in multiple programs.
