It doesn't tell much to just test it on Posix systems as
the usual answer is: It all depends... also on the filesystem :-)

The newer (Linux kernel 3.7+) userspace API tells you:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/uapi/linux/limits.h

#define NAME_MAX         255    /* # chars in a file name */
#define PATH_MAX        4096    /* # chars in a path name including nul */

When you talk to libc, it might look already different:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Limits-for-Files.html

Be aware that on Unicode strings you might also fit path-/filenames
into the limits.

Regards,

CKO
