GETDTABLESIZE(2) Linux Programmer's Manual GETDTABLESIZE(2)NAME
getdtablesize - get descriptor table size
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int getdtablesize(void);
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.
NOTES
getdtablesize is implemented as a libc library function. The glibc version calls getrlimit(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).
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, 4.4BSD (the getdtablesize function first appeared in BSD 4.2).

getdtablesize():
Since glibc 2.12:
_BSD_SOURCE ||
!(_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600)

DESCRIPTION
getdtablesize() returns the maximum number of files a process can have open, one more than the largest possible value for a file descrip-
tor.
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 getrlimit(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).

on AIX 5.2 i get the following error
