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).
