According to hkb83 on 1/30/2008 8:13 AM:
| Hi
|
| Is there any limitation in cygwin regarding the pathnames in opendir/readdir
| functions?

Only what Windows imposes.  Why do you ask?

|
| Is the pathname limit = PATH_MAX being 260?

Yes (for now, because we use ASCII functions; cygwin 1.7.0 will use NT
Unicode functions to increase the limit).
