Description

FreeBSD, NetBSD, linux all define MAXNAMLEN in dirent.h, but not DFly.
Is this an oversight or deliberate?

Deliberate. It doesn't make any sense and PATH_MAX or NAME_MAX should be
used instead. MAXNAMLEN is the historic limitation of FFS, for the
archive.

Yes, I see now. This is how linux works around it:

  1. ifdef NAME_MAX
  2. define MAXNAMLEN NAME_MAX
  3. else
  4. define MAXNAMLEN 255
  5. endif
  6. endif
