It's the max total length (and includes the environment variable size).

The difference in man page availability is due to this coming from the
POSIX spec, which is in the man-pages-posix package.  However, The Open
Group changed the license to something not compatible with Fedora, so
that package was moved to RPM Fusion.

You can also see the POSIX/Single Unix Specification here:

ARG_MAX is defined in the limits.h header (click on Headers at the
bottom left to find it).
