[R] How long can a csv file label be?

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Nick,
You are probably using Windows, for which the maximum path length is
claimed to be 260 characters. The most common alternative, Linux, has
a maximum filename length of 255 and a maximum path length of 4096. If
you are simply writing a file to the current path, it won't make much
difference.

However R doesn't seem to like my doing this, but it is not clear to me what the maximum filename size is, and I can't find the info on the net.  I believe that the maximum pathname is 255 characters but is that the same thing?
