Bestandsnaamlengtes, or file name lengths, refer to the maximum number of characters allowed in a file name within a particular file system. This limit varies depending on the operating system and file system in use. For instance, in the FAT32 file system, the maximum file name length is 255 characters, including the extension. However, in the older FAT12 and FAT16 systems, this limit is 8.3 characters, with 8 characters for the file name and 3 for the extension.

In the NTFS file system, the maximum file name length is also 255 characters. This limit includes the entire file name, which can be composed of a base name and an extension. The base name can be up to 255 characters long, but when combined with the extension, the total length must not exceed 255 characters.

In the exFAT file system, the maximum file name length is 255 characters, similar to NTFS. This file system is designed to be compatible with both Windows and macOS, and it supports long file names.

In Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux and macOS, the maximum file name length is typically 255 characters. However, some older Unix systems may have a lower limit of 14 characters. The file name length limit in Unix-like systems includes the entire file name, which can include a base name and an extension.

It is important to note that while these are the maximum limits, it is generally recommended to keep file names shorter and more descriptive to avoid compatibility issues with different systems and software applications. Additionally, using special characters in file names can lead to compatibility issues, so it is advisable to stick to alphanumeric characters and underscores.
