   Application Usage
       Use one of these:

	 o  in program code; see sysconf(2) and the section.

	 o  in program code; see ug_display_width(3C).

	 o  in shell scripts; see getconf(1) and the section.

	 o  in shell scripts

       and all return either (short names) or (long names). See ug_display_width(3C) for its return values.  Use one of the following procedures:

	 o  In program code, call

	 o  In a shell script,

	    1.	   Run or to see if long names are enabled.  If not enabled, set width to

	    2.	   Else,  if enabled, check for the environment variable.  If the variable is set to a value between set width to the value.  Oth-
		   erwise set width to

	    3.	   Else, if not set, set width to the value in the file.  Set width to if the value is out of range, not an integer, or improperly
		   formatted.
       The  current  display  width  is  used  by  all	system	and  conforming  applications  to display formatted output. See section of ug_dis-

       If it is set and long names are enabled,
	      it overrides the width specified in the file for all system and conforming applications that write formatted output.

DIAGNOSTICS


	      You may have attempted to use the option for a second time.

	      You tried to use the option before using the option.

	      A call to the function failed.

WARNINGS

       The file is the switch that marks a long name system.  If it is missing, short names are assumed and the variable is ignored.

       While many programs are unaffected by long names in a short name environment, some may behave abnormally and some may abort.

       It is recommended that you do not attempt to restore the short name environment once long names have been enabled.

       Do not use the system constant with the command or the function to test for name length; it is not changed when long names are enabled.
