NAME

limits − header files for implementation-specific constants

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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.
