-.Dt PATHCONF 2
-.Os
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm pathconf ,
-.Nm lpathconf ,
-.Nm fpathconf
-.Nd get configurable pathname variables
-.Sh LIBRARY
-.Lb libc
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.In unistd.h
-.Ft long
-.Fn pathconf "const char *path" "int name"
-.Ft long
-.Fn lpathconf "const char *path" "int name"
-.Ft long
-.Fn fpathconf "int fd" "int name"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Fn pathconf ,
-.Fn lpathconf
-and
-.Fn fpathconf
-system calls provide a method for applications to determine the current
-value of a configurable system limit or option variable associated
-with a pathname or file descriptor.
-.Pp
-For
-.Fn pathconf
-and
-.Fn lpathconf ,
-the
-.Fa path
-argument is the name of a file or directory.
-For
-.Fn fpathconf ,
-the
-.Fa fd
-argument is an open file descriptor.
-The
-.Fa name
-argument specifies the system variable to be queried.
-Symbolic constants for each name value are found in the include file
-.Li <unistd.h> .
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn lpathconf
-system call is like
-.Fn pathconf
-except in the case where the named file is a symbolic link,
-in which case
-.Fn lpathconf
-returns information about the link,
-while
-.Fn pathconf
-returns information about the file the link references.
-.Pp
-The available values are as follows:
-.Bl -tag -width 6n
-.It Li _PC_LINK_MAX
-The maximum file link count.
-.It Li _PC_MAX_CANON
-The maximum number of bytes in terminal canonical input line.
-.It Li _PC_MAX_INPUT
-The minimum maximum number of bytes for which space is available in
-a terminal input queue.
-.It Li _PC_NAME_MAX
-The maximum number of bytes in a file name.
-.It Li _PC_PATH_MAX
-The maximum number of bytes in a pathname.
-.It Li _PC_PIPE_BUF
-The maximum number of bytes which will be written atomically to a pipe.
-.It Li _PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED
-Return 1 if appropriate privilege is required for the
-.Xr chown 2
-system call, otherwise 0.
-.St -p1003.1-2001
-requires appropriate privilege in all cases, but this behavior was optional
-in prior editions of the standard.
-.It Li _PC_NO_TRUNC
-Return greater than zero if attempts to use pathname components longer than
-.Brq Dv NAME_MAX
-will result in an
-.Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
-error; otherwise, such components will be truncated to
-.Brq Dv NAME_MAX .
-.St -p1003.1-2001
-requires the error in all cases, but this behavior was optional in prior
-editions of the standard, and some
-.No non- Ns Tn POSIX Ns -compliant
-file systems do not support this behavior.
-.It Li _PC_VDISABLE
-Returns the terminal character disabling value.
-.It Li _PC_ASYNC_IO
-Return 1 if asynchronous I/O is supported, otherwise 0.
-.It Li _PC_PRIO_IO
-Returns 1 if prioritised I/O is supported for this file,
-otherwise 0.
-.It Li _PC_SYNC_IO
-Returns 1 if synchronised I/O is supported for this file, otherwise 0.
-.It Li _PC_ALLOC_SIZE_MIN
-Minimum number of bytes of storage allocated for any portion of a file.
-.It Li _PC_FILESIZEBITS
-Number of bits needed to represent the maximum file size.
-.It Li _PC_REC_INCR_XFER_SIZE
-Recommended increment for file transfer sizes between
-.Dv _PC_REC_MIN_XFER_SIZE
-and
-.Dv _PC_REC_MAX_XFER_SIZE .
-.It Li _PC_REC_MAX_XFER_SIZE
-Maximum recommended file transfer size.
-.It Li _PC_REC_MIN_XFER_SIZE
-Minimum recommended file transfer size.
-.It Li _PC_REC_XFER_ALIGN
-Recommended file transfer buffer alignment.
-.It Li _PC_SYMLINK_MAX
-Maximum number of bytes in a symbolic link.
-.It Li _PC_ACL_EXTENDED
-Returns 1 if an Access Control List (ACL) can be set on the specified
-file, otherwise 0.
-.It Li _PC_ACL_NFS4
-Returns 1 if an NFSv4 ACLs can be set on the specified
-file, otherwise 0.
-.It Li _PC_ACL_PATH_MAX
-Maximum number of ACL entries per file.
-.It Li _PC_CAP_PRESENT
-Returns 1 if a capability state can be set on the specified file,
-otherwise 0.
-.It Li _PC_INF_PRESENT
-Returns 1 if an information label can be set on the specified file,
-otherwise 0.
-.It Li _PC_MAC_PRESENT
-Returns 1 if a Mandatory Access Control (MAC) label can be set on the
-specified file, otherwise 0.
-.It Li _PC_MIN_HOLE_SIZE
-If a file system supports the reporting of holes (see
-.Xr lseek 2 ) ,
-.Fn pathconf
-and
-.Fn fpathconf
-return a positive number that represents the minimum hole size returned in
-bytes.
-The offsets of holes returned will be aligned to this same value.
-A special value of 1 is returned if the file system does not specify the minimum
-hole size but still reports holes.
-.El
-.Sh RETURN VALUES
-If the call to
-.Fn pathconf
-or
-.Fn fpathconf
-is not successful, \-1 is returned and
-.Va errno
-is set appropriately.
-Otherwise, if the variable is associated with functionality that does
-not have a limit in the system, \-1 is returned and
-.Va errno
-is not modified.
-Otherwise, the current variable value is returned.
-.Sh ERRORS
-If any of the following conditions occur, the
-.Fn pathconf
-and
-.Fn fpathconf
-system calls shall return -1 and set
-.Va errno
-to the corresponding value.
-.Bl -tag -width Er
-.It Bq Er EINVAL
-The value of the
-.Fa name
-argument is invalid.
-.It Bq Er EINVAL
-The implementation does not support an association of the variable
-name with the associated file.
-.El
-.Pp
-The
-.Fn pathconf
-system call

-.Bl -tag -width Er
-.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
-A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
-.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG

-above),
-or an entire path name exceeded
-.Brq Dv PATH_MAX
-characters.
-.It Bq Er ENOENT
-The named file does not exist.
-.It Bq Er EACCES
-Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.

-.Fa fd
-argument
-is not a valid open file descriptor.
-.It Bq Er EIO
-An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
-.It Bq Er EINTEGRITY
