No, the directory entry only allows 32 bits for the inode number, so
you're limited to ~4E9 entries.

in array.c. Both files are in fs/proc.

In UNIX a Dir is a represented as a file internally so the possible max dir
size ia same as for a file.
further, each entry may require an inode (hard links are exceptions) so the
max possible entries for a directory depends upon the number of inodes in the
filesystes also. my answer is baced on F

Hi,
Thanks for the response, but I meant how many are open at the time of
running the program/script.
Ie, the more files open, the higher the number, etc.
