ansible.builtin.win_basename filter – Get a Windows path’s base name
Note
This filter plugin is part of ansible-core and included in all Ansible
installations. In most cases, you can use the short
plugin name
win_basename.
However, we recommend you use the Fully Qualified Collection Name (FQCN) ansible.builtin.win_basename for easy linking to the
plugin documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have
the same filter plugin name.
