This is not what I find. Instead, I have: /* * These are the maximum length and maximum number of strings passed to the * execve() system call. MAX_ARG_STRLEN is essentially random but serves to * prevent the kernel from being unduly impacted by misaddressed pointers. * MAX_ARG_STRINGS is chosen to fit in a signed 32-bit integer. */ #define MAX_ARG_STRLEN (PAGE_SIZE * 32) #define MAX_ARG_STRINGS 0x7FFFFFFF
so, it seems that there is a maximum string length, but not a maximum overall argument length. Still, you can close this bug. -- xargs complains command line is too long, but kernel allows command lines of arbitrary length https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249937 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
