WRONG, AGAIN!
260 is the value of MAX_PATH, which accounts for the trailing \0, and
commonly used as

| char buffer[MAX_PATH];

I recommend to read
<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/fileio/naming-a-file>
VERY careful!

Neither Cygwin's WRONG documentation nor I referred to the command processor.
