NAME
     sysconf - get configurable system variables (POSIX)

SYNOPSIS
     sysconf [name...]

DESCRIPTION
     sysconf provides a method to determine the current values of certain
     configurable system limits, options and parameters.

     If the optional name argument or list is given, sysconf(1) will print the
     value of each requested system parameter, one per line.  If name is not
     supplied, sysconf(1) will print all known values with accompanying
     parameter names.  In some cases the value will be 1 or -1, indicating
     that the system does (1) or does not (-1) implement that particular
     feature.  Refer to the manual entry for sysconf(3C) for information about
     the meaning of the individual parameters.

     sysconf exits with a status of 1 if any errors are encountered, otherwise
     it exits with status 0.
