KwikNet Universal File System Interface

DAK

C - 5

File System Parameters (continued)

Maximum Path and File Name Lengths

Specify the maximum number of characters which can appear in a path name string used

to reference a directory location. The path length must include room for a terminating

'\0' character. The path length excludes any file name.

Specify the maximum number of characters which can appear in a file name string used

to identify any file. The file name includes the base name and extension(s) and any

separating characters. The file name length must include room for a terminating

'\0'

character. The file name length excludes any path information.

There is no reason to set the path or file name lengths any greater than the maximum

allowed by the selected file system. For the KwikNet Virtual File System, a path length of

32 and a file name length of 16 are reasonable. For AMX/FS and MS-DOS file systems,

a path length of 128 and a file name length of 16 will be adequate.

To minimize memory waste in embedded applications in which short paths are the norm,

the maximum path length can be reduced. However, be aware that KwikNet FTP and

HTTP servers may be forced to reject requests for service if the paths and file names

which they receive exceed the limits defined by these configuration parameters.

Note

The path and file name lengths are only used by the KwikNet

Universal File System (UFS) interface, the KwikNet Virtual

File System and the KwikNet administration interface.

These parameters are not used by any of the Treck file

systems. The Treck RAM File System restricts paths to

260 characters. Treck ROM File System paths are

determined by the Treck ROM FS Builder.
