Return the value of a configurable limit
#include <unistd.h>
long pathconf( const char* path,
int name );
- path
- The name of the file whose limit you want to get.
- name
- The name of the configurable limit; see below.
libc
Use the -l c option to
qcc
to link against this library.
This library is usually included automatically.
The pathconf() function returns a value of a configurable limit
indicated by name, which is associated with the filename given in
path.
Configurable limits are defined in <confname.h>, and include at
least the following values:
- _PC_LINK_MAX
- Maximum value of a file's link count.
- _PC_MAX_CANON
- Maximum number of bytes in a terminal's canonical input buffer
(edit buffer).
- _PC_MAX_INPUT
- Maximum number of bytes in a terminal's raw input buffer.
- _PC_NAME_MAX
- Maximum number of bytes in a file name (not including the terminating
null).
- _PC_PATH_MAX
- Maximum number of bytes in a pathname (not including the terminating
null).
- _PC_PIPE_BUF
- Maximum number of bytes that can be written atomically when writing to
a pipe.
- _PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED
- If defined (not -1), indicates that the use of the
chown()
function is restricted to a process with root privileges,
and to
changing the group ID of a file to the effective group ID of the
process or to one of its supplementary group IDs.
- _PC_NO_TRUNC
- If defined (not -1), indicates that the use of pathname components
longer than the value given by _PC_NAME_MAX will
generate an error.
- _PC_VDISABLE
- If defined (not -1), this is the character value which can be used to
individually disable special control characters in the
termios
control structure.
The requested configurable limit, or -1
if an error occurs
(errno
is set).
- EACCES
- Search permission is denied for a component of path.
- EINVAL
- The name argument is invalid, or the indicated limit isn't supported.
- ELOOP
- Too many levels of symbolic links or prefixes.
- ENAMETOOLONG
- The path argument, or a component of path, is too long.
- ENOENT
- The file doesn't exist.
- ENOSYS
- The pathconf() function isn't implemented for the filesystem specified
in path.
- ENOTDIR
- A component of the path prefix isn't a directory.
