NAME
sysconf(), CPU_IS_PA_RISC() - get configurable system variables
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
long sysconf(int name);
int CPU_IS_PA_RISC(long
cpuvers );
DESCRIPTION
The sysconf() system call provides a way for applications to determine the current value of a
configurable limit or variable.
The name argument represents the system variable being queried.
The following table lists the configuration variable name, the associated value for the name argument
that is used in the
sysconf() call and the value returned:
Variable Value for name Value Returned

that can be specified in a
lio_listio() call (see lio_listio (2))
AIO_LISTIO_MAX _SC_AIO_LISTIO_MAX
Maximum number of aio operations
that can be queued at any time (see
aio(5))
AIO_MAX _SC_AIO_MAX

ASYNCHRONOUS_IO _SC_ASYNCHRONOUS_IO Not supported
Maximum number of functions that
can be registered with
atexit() (see
atexit (3))

array permitted by bc (see bc(1))
BC_DIM_MAX _SC_BC_DIM_MAX
Maximum scale factor (number of
digits to the right of the decimal point)
allowed by bc (see bc(1))
BC_SCALE_MAX _SC_BC_SCALE_MAX
