69 They may evaluate their argument multiple times, so it must not
70 have side effects. Each of these may involve a relatively costly
71 call to `strlen' on some systems, so these values should be cached.
73 _D_EXACT_NAMLEN (DP) returns the length of DP->d_name, not including
74 its terminating null character.
76 _D_ALLOC_NAMLEN (DP) returns a size at least (_D_EXACT_NAMLEN (DP) + 1);
