Hello, When a user tries to open a file using the open() function from user space, what is the max size of "path to the file" + "Name of the file". Does the kernel have a say in the max size, if so, how can I find this limit. Can I "cat" any of the /proc file to find this limit. Thank you, Aha. __________________________________ Yahoo!
