25 PATH_MAX is not defined on systems which have no limit on filename length,
26 such as GNU/Hurd.
27
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,
31 - Either through a
32 #ifdef PATH_MAX
33 or through a fallback like
34 #ifndef PATH_MAX
35 # define PATH_MAX 8192
36 #endif
37 or through a fallback like
38 #ifndef PATH_MAX
39 # define PATH_MAX pathconf ("/", _PC_PATH_MAX)
