  24 .SH DESCRIPTION
  25 .sp
  26 .LP
  27 The \fBsysconf()\fR function provides a method for an application to determine
  28 the current value of a configurable system limit or option (variable).
  29 .sp
  30 .LP
  31 The \fIname\fR argument represents the system variable to be queried. The
  32 following table lists the minimal set of system variables from \fB<limits.h>\fR
  33 and \fB<unistd.h>\fR that can be returned by \fBsysconf()\fR and the symbolic
  34 constants defined in \fB<unistd.h>\fR that are the corresponding values used
  35 for \fIname\fR on the  SPARC and x86 platforms.

 394 Upon successful completion, \fBsysconf()\fR returns the current variable value
 395 on the system. The value returned will not be more restrictive than the
 396 corresponding value described to the application when it was compiled with the
 397 implementation's <\fBlimits.h\fR>, <\fBunistd.h\fR> or <\fBtime.h\fR>. With
 398 only a few obvious exceptions such as \fB_SC_AVPHYS_PAGES\fR and
 399 \fB_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN\fR, the value will not change during the lifetime of
 400 the calling process.

 403 If \fIname\fR is an invalid value, \fBsysconf()\fR returns \fB\(mi1\fR and sets
 404 \fBerrno\fR to indicate the error. If the variable corresponding to \fIname\fR
 405 is associated with functionality that is not supported by the system,
 406 \fBsysconf()\fR returns \fB\(mi1\fR without changing the value of \fIerrno\fR.

 409 Calling \fBsysconf()\fR with the following returns \fB\(mi1\fR without setting
 410 \fBerrno\fR, because no maximum limit can be determined. The system supports at
 411 least the minimum values and can support higher values depending upon system
 412 resources.
