From /usr/include/linux/limits.h (linux):
#define NAME_MAX 255 /* # chars in a file name */
#define PATH_MAX 4096 /* # chars in a path name including nul */
From /usr/include/sys/syslimits.h (FreeBSD):
#define NAME_MAX 255 /* # max bytes in a file name */
#define PATH_MAX 1024 /* # max bytes in pathname */
It seems reasonable to pick these values up from the platform correct
headers.
