1. maximum length of a command line, this is OS dependent but it is in the order of thousands of characters.
2. maximum length of a file path, typically 1024 characters, look for FILENAME_MAX in a header in /usr/include

Is there a maximum length for a shell script command? How can I detect that in my OS?
For example, if I have something like:
command A | command B | command C | awk '{print $1 $2 $3 $4 $5}'
then can we break the commands and also the arguments inside awk ?
Thanks (11 Replies)
