NAME
scf_limit - limit information for Service Configuration Facility
SYNOPSIS

-lscf [
library... ]
#include <libscf.h>
ssize_t scf_limit(
uint32_t name);
DESCRIPTION
The
scf_limit() 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:
SCF_LIMIT_MAX_FMRI_LENGTH Return the maximum length of an FMRI the service configuration
facility accepts.
SCF_LIMIT_MAX_PG_TYPE_LENGTH Return the maximum length for property group types in the service
configuration facility.
SCF_LIMIT_MAX_NAME_LENGTH Return the maximum length for names in the service configuration
facility. This value does not include space for the required
terminating null byte.
SCF_LIMIT_MAX_VALUE_LENGTH Return the maximum string length a scf_value_t can hold, not
including the terminating null byte.
Lengths do not include space for the required terminating null byte.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion,
scf_limit() returns the requested value.
Otherwise, it returns -1.
ERRORS
The
scf_limit() function will fail if:
SCF_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT The
name argument is not a recognized
request.
The
scf_error(3SCF) function can be used to retrieve the error value.
