Given a file with the following path:  c:\directory\base.ext

What terminology (and/or variable naming convention) do you use
to refer to the following:

- just the base part of a file name (no directory or extension),
eg. base
- just the file name (base and extension), eg. base.ext
- just the path to the file name, eg. c:\directory\
- the full path to the file including the file name, eg.
c:\directory\base.ext

I'm working on a project where everyone has a different view of
what's included (or not included) when they use the term "file
name". I'm trying to find a useful set of terms that we can all
agree on so we can be consistent in what we're talking about.

Wondering what terms you use ... or do you use library functions
like fullpath, justext, etc. to explictly determine what you're
looking for (that works in programs, but it doesn't work in
conversations).

Thanks,
Malcolm
