Using Enlightenment 17's Epeg API (Part Deux)

Hello, moron alert

directory handling interfaces are all that need to be added, plus a few defines:

[...]

#define LEN 1024

[...]
the LEN value is the standard string length - this can also be grokked from the limits.h file.
[...]

static char path[LEN];

strcpy(path, dir);
strcat(path, /);
strcat(path, file);

return (path);

Hmm. So there's this limit called PATH_MAX, and instead of using it we'll just type the number in? Not to mention that nothing stops something passing strings bigger than that to your application, PATH_MAX is just the max size you can pass to open() etc. Oh, but it gets better:

% egrep PATH_MAX /usr/include/linux/limits.h
/usr/include/linux/li mits.h:#define PATH_MAX 4096 /* # chars in a path name including nul */

Muhahhahaha. It's an article written by someone with no clue, about an API that noone uses ... /. says: +8 insightful.
