filename or directory name length restriction on HPUX 11.23

[Kiran V.G.]

Hi,

What is the maximum length of a filename or directory name allowed on HPUX 11.23?
Is there any means by which I can set this maximum lenght? If so how?

Thanks,
- Kiran

Hi:

Examine '/usr/include/limits.h' for the values of NAME_MAX and PATH_MAX. You should see 14 and 1023 respectively. Alteration of these values is not possible.

hi Kiran,

Please run command:

getconf NAME_MAX /

replace "/" by the file system that you are trying to verify.

This will give you the maximum length of a filename that is supported.


hope this helps!

kind regards
