Actually you want PATH_MAX. For our platform, FILENAME_MAX == PATH_MAX, but that is not the same everywhere. When you use `FILENAME_MAX', you are talking about the length of a single path component (e.g. "foo-1.2"). Use `PATH_MAX' when you mean a path name (e.g. "./foo-1.2" or "/var/db/pkg/foo-1.2").
