Hello David,
Humm, interesting question.
I know that inodes are allocated per system, thus the maximum value may be
already determined by the OS, because it is associated with an pre-allocated i-node entry.
However, if you are looking for the "integer" size-ness, I found this in the
ubuntu /usr/include/bits/dirent.h
#ifndef __USE_FILE_OFFSET64
__ino_t d_ino;
__off_t d_off;
#else
__ino64_t d_ino;
__off64_t d_off;
#endif
Which, is about as helpful as the first answer.
Hopefully, this helps :)
