NGROUPS_MAX has an HP-UX value of 20 ++
, which means that on all HP-UX systems the smallest
maximum number of supplementary groups per process is at least 20. A particular system might be capa-
ble of supporting more than 20 supplementary groups per process, in which case
sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX)
will return a larger value than that specified in <limits.h> ; how-
ever, any application assuming such a higher value is not guaranteed to be portable to all HP-UX systems.
