Variable names for pathconf

Nix uses the same naming convention for these variables as the getconf(1) utility. That is, PathconfVar variables have the same name as the abstract variables shown in the pathconf(2) man page. Usually, it's the same as the C variable name without the leading _PC_.

POSIX 1003.1-2008 standardizes all of these variables, but some OSes choose not to implement variables that cannot change at runtime.

Variants

LINK_MAX

Maximum number of links to a single file.

MAX_CANON

Maximum number of bytes in a terminal canonical input line.

MAX_INPUT

Minimum number of bytes for which space is available in a terminal input queue; therefore, the maximum number of bytes a conforming application may require to be typed as input before reading them.

NAME_MAX

Maximum number of bytes in a filename (not including the terminating null of a filename string).

PATH_MAX

Maximum number of bytes the implementation will store as a pathname in a user-supplied buffer of unspecified size, including the terminating null character. Minimum number the implementation will accept as the maximum number of bytes in a pathname.

PIPE_BUF

Maximum number of bytes that is guaranteed to be atomic when writing to a pipe.

_POSIX_CHOWN_RESTRICTED

The use of chown and fchown is restricted to a process with appropriate privileges, and to changing the group ID of a file only to the effective group ID of the process or to one of its supplementary group IDs.

_POSIX_NO_TRUNC

Pathname components longer than {NAME_MAX} generate an error.

_POSIX_VDISABLE

This symbol shall be defined to be the value of a character that shall disable terminal special character handling.
