FILENAME_MAX & _POSIX_PATH_MAX relationship?

Hi,

Would someone who knows please tell me the relationship between the
Standard C macro FILENAME_MAX and the POSIX macro _POSIX_PATH_MAX.

In particular, should they be the same, or should FILENAME_MAX
correspond instead to _POSIX_NAME_MAX.

I ask because HP-UX has FILENAME_MAX set to 14 and we think this is wrong.

Thanks in advance,
