Does the ifdef in the struct dirent (pasted in below) make any sense?
Seems like regardless of whether the __BSD_VISIBLE is defined or not,
the d_name length will always be 255 + 1.
Eric
struct dirent {
__uint32_t d_fileno; /* file number of entry */
__uint16_t d_reclen; /* length of this record */
__uint8_t d_type; /* file type, see below */
__uint8_t d_namlen; /* length of string in d_name */
#if __BSD_VISIBLE
#define MAXNAMLEN 255
char d_name[MAXNAMLEN + 1]; /* name must be no longer than
this */
#else
char d_name[255 + 1]; /* name must be no longer than
this */
#endif
};
