.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
.BR getdtablesize
|
||
|
|
\- get descriptor table size
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
#include <unistd.h>
|
||
|
|
.sp 1
|
||
|
|
int
|
||
|
|
.BR getdtablesize (void);
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
Each process has a fixed size descriptor table,
|
||
|
|
which is guaranteed to have at least 20 slots. The entries in
|
||
|
|
the descriptor table are numbered with small integers starting at 0.
|
||
|
|
The call
|
||
|
|
.BR getdtablesize
|
||
|
|
returns the size of this table.
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
This call is mainly intended for use on systems which have configurable
|
||
|
|
kernels. Since the GNO kernel is not yet configurable, this function
|
||
|
|
always returns
|
||
|
|
.BR OPEN_MAX .
|
||
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
||
|
|
The concept of the maximum number of concurrently open files is not
|
||
|
|
yet consistent between GS/OS, the GNO kernel, and the C library. For
|
||
|
|
example, the kernel uses
|
||
|
|
.BR OPEN_MAX
|
||
|
|
as the largest number of open files, yet GS/OS does not have a hard upper
|
||
|
|
limit. It is recommended for now that the return value of
|
||
|
|
.BR getdtablesize
|
||
|
|
be assumed in applications to be the largest number of open files, as
|
||
|
|
it is the smallest value.
