There is a maximum length for pathnames. If the pathname (or some
intermediate pathname obtained while resolving symbolic links) is too
long, an ENAMETOOLONG error is returned ("File name too long").
open(pathname = "very...long", flags = O_RDONLY) failed, File name too long (36, ENAMETOOLONG) because pathname exceeds the system maximum path length (4096)Notice how the system limit is included in the error message. |
