| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .PP |
| The |
| \fBgetconf\fR |
| utility prints the value of the configuration variable specified by |
| variable_name\&. If no |
| pathname |
| is given, |
| \fBgetconf\fR |
| serves as a wrapper for the |
| confstr |
| and |
| sysconf |
| functions, supporting the symbolic constants defined in the |
| limits\&.h |
| and |
| unistd\&.h |
| headers, without their respective |
| _CS_ |
| or |
| _SC_ |
| prefixes\&. |
| .PP |
| If |
| pathname |
| is given, |
| \fBgetconf\fR |
| prints the value of the configuration variable for the specified pathname\&. In this form, |
| \fBgetconf\fR |
| serves as a wrapper for the |
| pathconf |
| function, supporting the symbolic constants defined in the |
| unistd\&.h |
| header, without the |
| _PC_ |
| prefix\&. |
| .PP |
| If you specify the |
| \-v |
| option, the parameter denotes a specification for which the value of the configuration variable should be printed\&. Note that the only specifications supported by Cygwin are |
| POSIX_V7_ILP32_OFFBIG |
| and the legacy |
| POSIX_V6_ILP32_OFFBIG |
| and |
| XBS5_ILP32_OFFBIG |
| equivalents\&. |
| .PP |
| Use the |
| \-a |
| option to print a list of all available configuration variables for the system, or given |
| pathname, and their values\&. |
