- The st_size of an encrypted symlink will not necessarily give the
length of the symlink target as required by POSIX. It will actually
give the length of the ciphertext, which will be slightly longer
than the plaintext due to NUL-padding and an extra 2-byte overhead.
- The maximum length of an encrypted symlink is 2 bytes shorter than
