#include <tos.h>

long Dpathconf( char *name, int n );

  <name> is a NULL terminated string containing a file system name
         (folder pathname).

  <n> selects the type of information to return:
      -1 = max. legal value for <n>.
       0 = internal limit on the number of open files.
       1 = max. number of links to a file.
       2 = max. length of a full path name.
       3 = max. length of an individual file name.
       4 = number of bytes that can be written atomically
       5 = information about file name truncation.
       6 = information about case sensitivity.

Function returns information about a given sub-directory.
The value 0x7FFFFFFFL is used to indicate no limit.

For <n> == 5 (file name truncation), it returns:
  0 = file names are never truncated.
  1 = file names are automatically truncated to max. length.
  2 = file names are automatically converted to MS-DOS file names
      (eight characters with 3 character extension).

For <n> == 6 (case sensitivity), it returns:
  0 = file names are case sensitive.
  1 = file names are converted to upper case.
  2 = file names are case insensitive, but are saved in the directory
      preserving their original case.
