.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr getconf 1 ,

|
.Xr limits 3 ,
|
|
.Xr sysctl 3
|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn sysconf
|
|
function conforms to
|
|
.St -p1003.1-90 .
|
|
The constants
|
|
.Li _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF
|
|
and
|
|
.Li _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN
|
|
are not part of the standard, but are provided by many systems.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm sysconf
|
|
function first appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.4 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The value for _SC_STREAM_MAX is a minimum maximum, and required to be
|
|
the same as ANSI C's FOPEN_MAX, so the returned value is a ridiculously
|
|
small and misleading number.
