Limit on file name length in bash

Viewed 110180

The following questions are meant for bash and linux only:

  1. Is there a limit on the number of characters in the absolute path name of a file?
  2. Is there a limit on the number of characters for the filename (without extension) only?

If so, what might these limits be? How can I access them in case they are system specific?
