NAME
getconf -- get configuration values
SYNOPSIS
getconf system_var getconf -a getconf path_var pathname getconf -a pathname
DESCRIPTION
The getconf utility writes the current value of a configurable system limit or option variable to the standard output. The system_var argument specifies the system variable to be queried. The names of the system variables are from sysconf(3) with the leading ``_SC_'' removed. The path_var argument specifies the pathname variable to be queried for the specified pathname argument. The names of the pathname variables are from pathconf(2) with the leading ``_PC_'' removed. When invoked with the option -a, getconf writes a list of all applicable variables and their values to the standard output, in the format ``name = value''.
