Michael Kerrisk c48f13805c readdir.3: Remove misleading code example using pathconf()
As noted by Florian:

    The kernel does not return valid values for _PC_NAME_MAX and
    some file systems (such as CIFS, and CD-ROMs with Joliet
    extensions once a kernel bug is fixed).  The CIFS limit is
    somewhere around 765, and not 255 as reported by the kernel.
    If I recall correctly, Windows SMB servers can actually
    exceed the 255 byte limit.  The reason is that Windows NTFS
    has a limit based on 16-bit UCS-2 characters, and after
    UTF-8 conversion, the maximum length is more than 255 bytes.

README

This package contains Linux man pages for sections
2, 3, 4, 5, and 7. Some more information is given in the
`Announce' file.

Install by copying to your favourite location.
"make install" will just copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].
To install to a path different from /usr use
"make install prefix=/install/path".
"make" will move the pages from this package that are older than
the already installed ones to a subdirectory `not_installed',
then remove old versions (compressed or not),
compress the pages, and copy them to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].


Note that you may have to remove preformatted pages.

Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages
also distributed in other packages. This has been reported
about dlclose.3, dlerror.3, dlopen.3, dlsym.3 (found in ld.so),
about resolver.3, resolv.conf.5 (found in bind-utils),
and about passwd.5, and mailaddr.7. Be careful not to
overwrite more up-to-date versions.
Reports on further duplicates are welcome.
Formerly present and now removed duplicates:
 exports.5 (found in nfs-server-2.2*),
 fstab.5, nfs.5 (found in util-linux-2.12*),
 lilo.8, lilo.conf.5 (found in lilo-21.6*).

Copyrights: These man pages come under various copyrights.
All pages are freely distributable when the nroff source is included.
