Service Configuration Facility Library Functions  scflimit(3SCF)



NAME
     scflimit -  limit  information  for  Service  Configuration
     Facility

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lscf [ library... ]
     #include 

     ssizet scflimit(uint32t name);


DESCRIPTION
     The   scflimit()   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:

     SCFLIMITMAXFMRILENGTH

         Return the maximum length of an FMRI the service  confi-
         guration facility accepts.


     SCFLIMITMAXPGTYPELENGTH

         Return the maximum length for property  group  types  in
         the service configuration facility.


     SCFLIMITMAXNAMELENGTH

         Return the maximum length for names in the service  con-
         figuration  facility.  This value does not include space
         for the required terminating null byte.


     SCFLIMITMAXVALUELENGTH

         Return the maximum string length a scfvaluet can hold,
         not including the terminating null byte.



     Lengths do not include space for  the  required  terminating
     null byte.

Service Configuration Facility Library Functions  scflimit(3SCF)



RETURN VALUES
     Upon  successful   completion,   scflimit()   returns   the
     requested value. Otherwise, it returns -1.

ERORS
     The scflimit() function will fail if:

     SCFERORINVALIDARGUMENT    The name  argument  is  not  a
                                   recognized request.



     The scferror(3SCF) function can be  used  to  retrieve  the
     error value.
