scf_limit(3SCF) Service Configuration Facility Library Functions scf_limit(3SCF)
NAME
scf_limit - limit information for Service Configuration Facility
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lscf [ library... ]
#include <libscf.h>
ssize_t scf_limit(uint32_t name);
DESCRIPTION
The scf_limit() function returns information about implementation-defined limits in the service configuration facility. These limits are
generally maximum lengths for various strings. The values returned do not change during the execution of a program, but they should not be
cached between executions.
The available values for name are:
SCF_LIMIT_MAX_FMRI_LENGTH
Return the maximum length of an FMRI the service configuration facility accepts.
SCF_LIMIT_MAX_PG_TYPE_LENGTH
Return the maximum length for property group types in the service configuration facility.
SCF_LIMIT_MAX_NAME_LENGTH
Return the maximum length for names in the service configuration facility. This value does not include space for the required terminat-
ing null byte.
SCF_LIMIT_MAX_VALUE_LENGTH
Return the maximum string length a scf_value_t can hold, not including the terminating null byte.
Lengths do not include space for the required terminating null byte.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, scf_limit() returns the requested value. Otherwise, it returns -1.
ERRORS
The scf_limit() function will fail if:
SCF_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
The name argument is not a recognized request.
The scf_error(3SCF) function can be used to retrieve the error value.
