.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B #include <limits.h>
|
|
.br
|
|
.B #include <float.h>
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The header files
|
|
.I <limits.h>
|
|
and \f2<float.h>\fP
|
|
is a list of various limits on resources that IRIX imposes on applications.
|
|
The limits in these headers fall into 3 main categories.
|
|
.TP 20
|
|
Numerical limits
|
|
These specify the maximum and minimum representable numbers for the fundamental
|
|
"C" types (integer, float, etc.).
|
|
.TP
|
|
Minimum resource limits
|
|
These specify the minimum limits on certain resources. These are usually
|
|
specified by either the POSIX or XPG standards.
|
|
Many of these have higher actual limits that are available at runtime via
|
|
the \f4sysconf\fP(3C) or \f4pathconf\fP(2) system calls.
|
|
.TP
|
|
Resource limits
|
|
These are real non-varying resource limits imposed by the system.
