/* This is a function much like chdir, but without the PATH_MAX limitation
   on the length of the directory name.  A significant difference is that
   it must be able to modify (albeit only temporarily) the directory
   name.  It handles an arbitrarily long directory name by operating
   on manageable portions of the name.  On systems without the openat
   syscall, this means changing the working directory to more and more
   `distant' points along the long directory name and then restoring
   the working directory.  If any of those attempts to save or restore
   the working directory fails, this function exits nonzero.

   Note that this function may still fail with errno == ENAMETOOLONG, but
   only if the specified directory name contains a component that is long
   enough to provoke such a failure all by itself (e.g. if the component
   has length PATH_MAX or greater on systems that define PATH_MAX).  */
