It tells how long can a file name be on that system. There isn't really any such limit in the system. The symbol MAXPATHLEN is just a recommended arbitrary limit for user programs to impose. However, in GNU our convention is that you shouldn't have arbitrary limits. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
