When executing external programs, as if they were ran in the command line (a.k.a. Shell, a.k.a. Terminal), it might be necessary to determine how long this statement can be ... you know, when you pass a lot of data on the command line for example.
To find out (under MacOS X, maybe Linux too) what the maximum length of a command line statement is, execute the following:
getconf ARG_MAX
Under El Capitan (Mac) this gives the answer that a command line statement cannot exceed 262144 characters ... that's a lot!
