There is important information about booting non-ack images in docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the new boot monitor is recommended. Changes in this commit: . drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support . facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING . no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries . some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases . drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet). . a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir . new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/ . test compile fix . harmonize includes . /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even less on the state of the machine making them now. . rename nbsd_lib* to lib* . reduce mtree

|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In unistd.h
|
|
.Ft long
|
|
.Fn pathconf "const char *path" "int name"
|
|
.Ft long
|
|
.Fn fpathconf "int fd" "int name"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pathconf
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fpathconf
|
|
functions provide a method for applications to determine the current
|
|
value of a configurable system limit or option variable associated
|
|
with a pathname or file descriptor.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For
|
|
.Nm pathconf ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
argument is the name of a file or directory.
|
|
For
|
|
.Nm fpathconf ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
argument is an open file descriptor.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
argument specifies the system variable to be queried.
|
|
Symbolic constants for each name value are found in the
|
|
.In unistd.h
|
|
header.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The available values are as follows:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "123456"
|
|
.It Li _PC_LINK_MAX
|
|
The maximum file link count.
|
|
.It Li _PC_MAX_CANON
|
|
The maximum number of bytes in terminal canonical input line.
|
|
.It Li _PC_MAX_INPUT
|
|
The minimum maximum number of bytes for which space is available in
|
|
a terminal input queue.
|
|
.It Li _PC_NAME_MAX
|
|
The maximum number of bytes in a filename,
|
|
not including a terminating null character.
|
|
.It Li _PC_PATH_MAX
|
|
The maximum number of bytes in a pathname,
|
|
including the terminating null character.
|
|
.It Li _PC_PIPE_BUF
|
|
The maximum number of bytes which will be written atomically to a pipe.
|
|
.It Li _PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED
|
|
Return 1 if appropriate privileges are required for the
|
|
.Xr chown 2
|
|
system call, otherwise 0.
|
|
.It Li _PC_NO_TRUNC
|
|
Return 0 if filenames longer than
|
|
.Brq Dv NAME_MAX
|
|
are silently truncated, or non-zero if an error is generated when
|
|
.Brq Dv NAME_MAX
|
|
is exceeded.
|
|
.It Li _PC_VDISABLE
|
|
Returns the terminal character disabling value.
|
|
.It Li _PC_SYNC_IO
|
|
Returns 1 if synchronized I/O is supported, otherwise 0.
|
|
.It Li _PC_FILESIZEBITS
|
|
If the maximum size file that could ever exist on the mounted file system is
|
|
.Dv maxsize ,
|
|
then the returned value is 2 plus the floor of the base 2 logarithm of
|
|
.Dv maxsize .
|
|
.It Li _PC_SYMLINK_MAX
|
|
The maximum number of bytes in a symbolic link.
|
|
.It Li _PC_2_SYMLINKS
|
|
When referring to a directory the system supports the creation of symbolic
|
|
links within that directory; for nondirectory files, the meaning of
|
|
.Dv {_PC_2_SYMLINKS}
|
|
is undefined.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If the call to
|
|
.Nm pathconf
|
|
or
|
|
.Nm fpathconf
|
|
is not successful, \-1 is returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set appropriately.
|
|
Otherwise, if the variable is associated with functionality that does
|
|
not have a limit in the system, \-1 is returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is not modified.
|
|
Otherwise, the current variable value is returned.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
If any of the following conditions occur, the
|
|
.Nm pathconf
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm fpathconf
|
|
functions shall return \-1 and set
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to the corresponding value.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The value of the
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
argument is invalid, or
|
|
the implementation does not support an association of the variable
|
|
name with the associated file.
