limits(4)  —  File Formats

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.
