Question
How long can a directory name be?
A. 1 to 64 characters
B. 1 to 32 characters
C. Up to 64 characters
D. Up to 32 characters
Solution
The length of a directory name can vary depending on the file system being used.
For example, in Windows, the maximum length for a path (file name and its directory route) — also known as MAX_PATH — has been defined by 260 characters. But each directory in the path can be no longer than 255 characters. This limit is a system parameter known as MAX_COMPONENT_LENGTH. To sum up, in Windows, a directory name can be up to 255 characters long.
In Unix-like operating systems, the system parameter MAXNAMLEN defines the maximum length of a directory entry. This is typically set to 255 characters. So, a directory name can be up to 255 characters long.
So, none of the options A, B, C, D are correct if we consider common operating systems like Windows and Unix-like. The correct answer would be "Up to 255 characters".
