Subject: [ruby-core:47853] [ruby-trunk - Bug #7112] File.extname documentation fix


Issue #7112 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).


Good catch!

There are a few special cases:
- dotfiles (e.g.: ".hidden") have "" for extname and ".hidden" for basename.
- files ending with a dot report "" as extname (done by rb_file_s_extname())
- looking at ruby_enc_find_extname(), the part after ':' is not kept for NTFS paths.

The documentation says that File.extname returns the portion of the filename _after_ the period, while the actual output includes the period. Update the documentation to reflect this.
