GETDTABLESIZE(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GETDTABLESIZE(3)
NAME
getdtablesize - get descriptor table size
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int getdtablesize(void);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
getdtablesize():
Since glibc 2.12:
_BSD_SOURCE ||
!(_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600)
Before glibc 2.12:
_BSD_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED
DESCRIPTION
getdtablesize() returns the maximum number of files a process can have open, one more than
the largest possible value for a file descriptor.
RETURN VALUE
The current limit on the number of open files per process.
ERRORS
On Linux, getdtablesize() can return any of the errors described for getrlimit(2); see
NOTES below.
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, 4.4BSD (the getdtablesize() function first appeared in 4.2BSD). It is not specified
in POSIX.1-2001; portable applications should employ sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) instead of this
call.
NOTES
getdtablesize() is implemented as a libc library function. The glibc version calls getr-
limit(2) and returns the current RLIMIT_NOFILE limit, or OPEN_MAX when that fails. The
libc4 and libc5 versions return OPEN_MAX (set to 256 since Linux 0.98.4).
SEE ALSO
