Then let's say _that_.  It's very different from a "minimum".

TMP_MAX, a few lines above, has the same ambiguity... the security
implication of the value there is: "do not depend on more than this many
unique values existing!", so "minimum" conveys the wrong message.

Similarly, the meaning of "FOPEN_MAX" as "do not depend on opening more
than this many files simultaneously".

Perhaps "Maximum number of files you can depend on being able to have open
at once"?
