+# Maximum Path Length Limitation
+
+In the Windows API (with some exceptions discussed in the following paragraphs), the maximum length for a path is `MAX_PATH`, which is defined as 260 characters. A local path is structured in the following order: drive letter, colon, backslash, name components separated by backslashes, and a terminating null character. For example, the maximum path on drive D is `"D:\<some 256-character path string><NUL>"` where "\<NUL\>" represents the invisible terminating null character for the current system codepage. (The characters < > are used here for visual clarity and cannot be part of a valid path string.)
