extname - the lost sibling

There is basename and dirname, but not tool to get the file extension of a given file. This is where extname comes in.

extname is a simple tool to work like basename and dirname, but provides the extension name of a file.

Installation

First, clone this git repository

git clone [e-mail]:mimre25/extname.git

or

git clone https://github.com/mimre25/extname.git

Then, run

cargo build --release

to build the binaries.

Last, copy the binaries from target/release/extname to some place on your path, or add target/release to your path.

Anything else?

Nah, that's all. Just wanted to solve this little problem for myself and explore rust a bit on the way.
