  * Utilities for working with
  * {@linkcode https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL | URL}s.
  *
- * ## Get basename
- *
- * {@linkcode basename} returns the base name of a URL or URL string, optionally
- * removing a suffix.
- *
  * ```ts
- * import { basename } from "@std/url/basename";
- *
- * basename("https://deno.land/std/assert/mod.ts"); // "mod.ts"
- *
- * basename(new URL("https://deno.land/std/assert/mod.ts")); // "mod.ts"
- *
- * basename("https://deno.land/std/assert/mod.ts?a=b"); // "mod.ts"
- *
- * basename("https://deno.land/std/assert/mod.ts#header"); // "mod.ts"
- *
- * basename("https://deno.land/"); // "deno.land"
- * ```
- *
- * ## Get directory path
+ * import { basename, join, normalize } from "@std/url";
+ * import { assertEquals } from "@std/assert/assert-equals";
  *
- * {@linkcode dirname} returns the directory path of a URL or URL string.
+ * const url = new URL("https:///deno.land///std//assert//.//mod.ts");
+ * const normalizedUrl = normalize(url);
  *
- * ```ts
- * import { dirname } from "@std/url/dirname";
- *
- * dirname("https://deno.land/std/path/mod.ts?a=b").href; // "https://deno.land/std/path"
- *
- * dirname("https://deno.land/").href; // "https://deno.land"
- * ```
- *
- * ## Get file extension
- *
- * {@linkcode extname} returns the file extension of a given URL or string with
- * leading period.
- *
- * ```ts
- * import { extname } from "@std/url/extname";
- *
- * extname("https://deno.land/std/path/mod.ts"); // ".ts"
- *
- * extname("https://deno.land/std/path/mod"); // ""
- *
- * extname("https://deno.land/std/path/mod.ts?a=b"); // ".ts"
- *
- * extname("https://deno.land/"); // ""
- * ```
- *
- * ## Join URL paths
- *
- * {@linkcode join} joins a base URL or URL string, and a sequence of path
- * segments together, then normalizes the resulting URL.
- *
- * ```ts
- * import { join } from "@std/url/join";
- *
- * join("https://deno.land/", "std", "path", "mod.ts").href;
- * // "https://deno.land/std/path/mod.ts"
- *
- * join("https://deno.land", "//std", "path/", "/mod.ts").href;
- * // "https://deno.land/path/mod.ts"
- * ```
- *
- * ## Normalize URL
- *
- * {@linkcode normalize} normalizes the URL or URL string, resolving `..` and
- * `.` segments. Multiple sequential `/`s are resolved into a single `/`.
- *
- * ```ts
- * import { normalize } from "@std/url/normalize";
+ * assertEquals(normalizedUrl.href, "https://deno.land/std/assert/mod.ts");
+ * assertEquals(basename(normalizedUrl), "mod.ts");
