+This example uses the same source file as above, but the source file's
+full path is /tmp/foo/test.cpp and is compiled as follows. The first case
+shows the default absolute paths, the second --basenames and the third
+shows --relativenames.

-  Strip directories when printing the file path.
+  Print just the file's name without any directories, instead of the
+  absolute path.
 
+.. option:: --relativenames
+
+  Print the file's path relative to the compilation directory, instead
+  of the absolute path. If the command-line to the compiler included
+  the full path, this will be the same as the default.
