ReFS has 32768-character paths. NTFS has always had 255-char paths.
bug I have a problem with the POSIX standard being 100 bytes and the truncation I get in paths. please fix. linux paths at 1024 bytes are too short too.
/* tar Header Block, from POSIX 1003.1-1990. */
/* POSIX header. */
struct posix_header
{ /* byte offset */
char name[100]; /* 0 */
char mode[8]; /* 100 */
would be nice if std::string could be used.
you could precede the struct with a byte count. I look forward to a tar that works for at least *nix.
