Simple question, LINE_MAX

Hi, just a quick question. There's 4 threads with LINE_MAX on this forum, though none show me where it's defined.

`LINE_MAX' undeclared (first use this function)

Which header file should I include?

I've tried these:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <strings.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <direct.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>

Thanks!

Define it as some garbage value, then include all those header files and see which one complains about the redeclaration :)

It's not a standard name as far as I know, so it could be anything (or nothing at all).

Hehe I've tried that procedure, but none of 'em complains about redeclaration. :/
That's why I thought I'm missing the right header file.

sound like GNU c

Thanks. I've never heard of that though :). Plus I cant find it in the link you sent. I just wanted to use an example I found on the internet for reading a line from an input stream. That one used LINE_MAX as definition for the line length....

I'll try another method. I'm so damn stuck atm, damn it.

Thanks for your help.

try setting it to 80 and see what happens

Thanks, so stupid I didnt think of that myself.... Im afraid I just deleted that bit from my code though :/ this is just one of those days.....
