  19. PATH_MAX is not defined on systems which have no limit on filename length,
  20. such as GNU/Hurd.
  21. This file does *not* define PATH_MAX always. Programs that use this file
  22. can handle the GNU/Hurd case in several ways:
  23. - Either with a package-wide handling, or with a per-file handling,
  24. - Either through a
  25. #ifdef PATH_MAX
  26. or through a fallback like
  27. #ifndef PATH_MAX
  28. # define PATH_MAX 8192
  29. #endif
  30. or through a fallback like
  31. #ifndef PATH_MAX
  32. # define PATH_MAX pathconf ("/", _PC_PATH_MAX)
  33. #endif
