lstat long path problem

Hi, We are using lstat in our project. But in case of the path length more than 1024, it's returning error ENAMETOOLONG. Is there any another system call which is supporting more than 1024 path and providing the same info as lstat. Thanks

mkpath_np

mkpath_np(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 					      mkpath_np(3)

NAME

     mkpath_np -- Auxiliary routine for efficiently creating paths

SYNOPSIS

     #include <unistd.h>

     int
     mkpath_np(const char * path, mode_t omode);

DESCRIPTION

     This routine allows the caller to create a path, including intermediate directories.  It is equivalent to calling mkdir(1) with the -p com-
     mand line argument.

     Intermediate directories are created with permission bits of rwxrwxrwx (0777) as modified by the current umask, plus write and search permis-
     sion for the owner.

     The leaf directory is created with permission bits of omode as modified by the current umask.

RETURN VALUES

     A 0 return value indicates success.  If an error occurs, the return value is a non-zero error code.  Note that EEXIST is returned iff the
     leaf directory already exists and is a directory, so under certain circumstances, this error value may not indicate a failure state.

     This routine does NOT modify errno.

ERRORS

     Any error code that can be returned by mkdir(2) can be returned by mkpath_np(), but mkpath_np() will return the error code rather than set-
     ting errno.

     [ENOTDIR]		A component of the path is not a directory (in contrast to mkdir(2) which returns this based on the path prefix rather
			than the path).

     [EEXIST]		The path already exists and is a directory.

HISTORY

     This function first appeared in iOS 5.0.
