NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       limits  -  Header  files  for implementation-specific constants

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <limits.h> #include <float.h> #include  <sys/limits.h>

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  header  file limits.h specifies the sizes of integral
       types as required by the proposed ANSI  C  standard.   The
       header  file  float.h  specifies  the  characteristics  of
       floating types as required by the proposed  ANSI  C  standard.
   The  constants  that  refer  to  long doubles that
       should appear in float.h are not  specified  because  long
       doubles are not implemented.  The header file sys/limits.h
       is a list of magnitude limitations imposed by  a  specific
       implementation of the operating system.  All values in the
       files are specified in decimal.
