getdtablesize(3)        (BSD Compatibility Package)        getdtablesize(3)


   NAME
         getdtablesize - get descriptor table size

   SYNOPSIS
         cc [ flag... ] file ... -lucb
         long getdtablesize()

   DESCRIPTION
         Each process has a descriptor table which is guaranteed to have at
         least 20 slots.  The entries in the descriptor table are numbered
         with small integers starting at 0.  The call getdtablesize returns
         the current maximum size of this table by calling the getrlimit
         system call.
