22 /* POSIX:2008 defines PATH_MAX to be the maximum number of bytes in a filename,
23 including the terminating NUL byte.
24 <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/limits.h.html>
25 PATH_MAX is not defined on systems which have no limit on filename length,
28 This file does *not* define PATH_MAX always. Programs that use this file
29 can handle the GNU/Hurd case in several ways:
30 - Either with a package-wide handling, or with a per-file handling,
33 or through a fallback like
35 # define PATH_MAX 8192
37 or through a fallback like
39 # define PATH_MAX pathconf ("/", _PC_PATH_MAX)
47 # ifndef _POSIX_PATH_MAX
48 # define _POSIX_PATH_MAX 256
51 /* Don't include sys/param.h if it already has been. */
52 # if defined HAVE_SYS_PARAM_H && !defined PATH_MAX && !defined MAXPATHLEN
53 # include <sys/param.h>
56 # if !defined PATH_MAX && defined MAXPATHLEN
57 # define PATH_MAX MAXPATHLEN
61 /* On HP-UX, PATH_MAX designates the maximum number of bytes in a filename,
62 *not* including the terminating NUL byte, and is set to 1023.
63 Additionally, when _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined to 500 or more, PATH_MAX is
64 not defined at all any more. */
