Query: Regarding max filename length

[Kousik Bera <kousik.bera@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
I am forwarding a query from a friend, who is working in OSS
dev.	
In the file /usr/include/posix1_lim.h the filename limit
is specified as 14.
#define _POSIX_NAME_MAX 14
But I was successfull in creating a file with filename > 14 chars.
How is this possible?
If this is not the forum to ask this question, plz let me know
the correct mailing list addr.
TIA,
Kousik
