No, it isn't a design principle. My point was that unix hasn't found it useful to add a level option to the dirname API.
I don't know that I personally have ever had occasion to peel off more than one directory level without also wanting to do something with the intermediate results, so perhaps I am not a good judge of how useful this would be. |
