  // The /proc filesystem does not provide any way to read “exe” links for
  // pathnames longer than a page. See linux-4.9.20/fs/proc/base.c
  // do_proc_readlink(), which allocates a single page to receive the path
  // string. Coincidentally, the page size and PATH_MAX are normally the same
  // value, although neither is strictly a limit on the length of a pathname.
  //
  // On Android, the smaller of the page size and PATH_MAX actually does serve
  // as an effective limit on the length of an executable’s pathname. See
  // Android 7.1.1 bionic/linker/linker.cpp get_executable_path(), which aborts
  // via __libc_fatal() if the “exe” link can’t be read into a PATH_MAX-sized
  // buffer.
