       
SYNOPSIS
       #include <'limits'.h>

DESCRIPTION
       Some  of the functionality described on this reference page extends the
       ISO C standard. Applications shall define the appropriate feature  test
       macro  (see  the System Interfaces volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Sec-
       tion 2.2, The Compilation Environment)  to  enable  the  visibility  of
       these symbols in this header.

       Many   of   the   symbols   listed   here   are   not  defined  by  the
       ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard. Such symbols are not shown as CX shaded.

       The <limits.h> header shall define various  symbolic  names.  Different
       categories of names are described below.

       The names represent various limits on resources that the implementation
       imposes on applications.

       Implementations may choose any appropriate value for each  limit,  pro-
       vided  it  is  not  more restrictive than the Minimum Acceptable Values
       listed below. Symbolic constant names  beginning  with  _POSIX  may  be
       found in <unistd.h> .

       Applications  should  not  assume  any particular value for a limit. To
       achieve maximum portability, an application  should  not  require  more
       resource  than  the  Minimum  Acceptable  Value  quantity.  However, an
       application wishing to avail itself of the full amount  of  a  resource
       available on an implementation may make use of the value given in <lim-
       its.h> on that particular implementation, by using the  symbolic  names
       listed below. It should be noted, however, that many of the listed lim-
       its are not invariant, and at runtime, the value of the limit may  dif-
       fer from those given in this header, for the following reasons:

        * The limit is pathname-dependent.


        * The limit differs between the compile and runtime machines.


       For  these reasons, an application may use the fpathconf(), pathconf(),
       and sysconf() functions to determine the actual value  of  a  limit  at
       runtime.

       The items in the list ending in _MIN give the most negative values that
       the mathematical types are guaranteed to be  capable  of  representing.
       Numbers  of  a more negative value may be supported on some implementa-
       tions, as indicated by the <limits.h> header on the implementation, but
       applications  requiring  such numbers are not guaranteed to be portable
       to all implementations. For positive constants  ending  in  _MIN,  this
       indicates the minimum acceptable value.

   Runtime Invariant Values (Possibly Indeterminate)
       A  definition  of one of the symbolic names in the following list shall
       be omitted from <limits.h> on specific implementations where the corre-
       sponding  value  is equal to or greater than the stated minimum, but is
       unspecified.

       This indetermination might depend on the  amount  of  available  memory
       space  on a specific instance of a specific implementation.  The actual
       value supported by  a  specific  instance  shall  be  provided  by  the
       sysconf() function.

       pertains whenever the application is run under that  implementation.  A
       specific  instance  of a specific implementation may increase the value
