105 name. It handles an arbitrarily long directory name by operating
106 on manageable portions of the name. On systems without the openat
107 syscall, this means changing the working directory to more and more
108 `distant' points along the long directory name and then restoring
109 the working directory. If any of those attempts to save or restore
110 the working directory fails, this function exits nonzero.
112 Note that this function may still fail with errno == ENAMETOOLONG, but
113 only if the specified directory name contains a component that is long
114 enough to provoke such a failure all by itself (e.g. if the component
