Hi,
Let this be part of the endless linux kernel headers vs. libc system
headers battle...
The unix(7) manpage documents a UNIX_PATH_MAX constant, but current
sys/un.h has the number 108 hardcoded. linux/un.h has this. Since
it's useful for strncpy etc., and it's even documented I suggest adding it.
cheers
