PXFSYSCONF
POSIX Subroutine: Gets values for system limits or options.
Module
USE IFPOSIX
CALL PXFSYSCONF (name,ival,ierror)
name |
(Input) INTEGER(4). The system option you want information about. |
ival |
(Output) INTEGER(4). The returned value. |
ierror |
(Output) INTEGER(4). The error status. |
If successful, ierror is set to zero; otherwise, an error code.
PXFSYSCONF lets you determine values for system limits or system options at runtime.
The value for name can be any of the following constants:

_SC_VERSION1 |
Indicates the year and month the POSIX.1 standard was approved in the format YYYYMML; the value 199009L indicates the most recent revision, 1990. |
_SC_BC_BASE_MAX1 |
Indicates the maximum obase value accepted by the bc(1) utility. |
_SC_BC_DIM_MAX1 |
Indicates the maximum value of elements that bc(1) permits in an array. |

_SC_BC_STRING_MAX1 |
Indicates the maximum length of a string accepted by bc(1). |
_SC_COLL_WEIGHTS_MAX1 |
Indicates the maximum numbers of weights that can be assigned to an entry of the LC_COLLATE order keyword in the locale definition file. |
_SC_EXPR_NEST_MAX1,3 |
Indicates the maximum number of expressions that can be nested within parentheses by expr(1). |
_SC_LINE_MAX1 |
Indicates the maximum length of a utility's input line length, either from standard input or from a file. This includes the length for a trailing newline. |
_SC_RE_DUP_MAX1 |
Indicates the maximum number of repeated occurrences of a regular expression when the interval notation \{m,n\} is used. |

Indicates the size of a page (in bytes). |
_SC_PHYS_PAGES4 |
Indicates the number of pages of physical memory. Note that it is possible for the product of this value and the value of _SC_PAGE_SIZE to overflow. |
_SC_AVPHYS_PAGES4 |
Indicates the number of currently available pages of physical memory. |
1L*X only 2The corresponding POSIX macro is STREAM_MAX. 3The corresponding POSIX macro is EXPR_NEST_MAX. 4L*X, W*32 |
The corresponding macros are defined in <bits/confname.h> on Linux* systems; <unistd.h> on macOS systems. The values for argument name can be obtained by using PXFCONST or IPXFCONST when passing the string names of predefined macros in the appropriate .h file.
