54 They may evaluate their argument multiple times, so it must not
55 have side effects. Each of these may involve a relatively costly
56 call to `strlen' on some systems, so these values should be cached.
58 _D_EXACT_NAMLEN (DP) returns the length of DP->d_name, not including
59 its terminating null character.
61 _D_ALLOC_NAMLEN (DP) returns a size at least (_D_EXACT_NAMLEN (DP) + 1);
62 that is, the allocation size needed to hold the DP->d_name string.
63 Use this macro when you don't need the exact length, just an upper bound.
64 This macro is less likely to require calling `strlen' than _D_EXACT_NAMLEN.
