13. Headers

This section describes how the QNX Neutrino RTOS conforms to POSIX in header files.

<fenv.h>

The default state of the FENV_ACCESS pragma is off. Note that gcc doesn't currently support this pragma.

<float.h>

The accuracy of floating point operations and the library functions in <math.h> and <complex.h> is unknown.

The default rounding mode for floating-point addition (FLT_ROUNDS) is 1. No additional values beyond those specified are implemented.

The evaluation format mode (FLT_EVAL_METHOD) is -1 (indeterminable). There are no additional implementation-defined values beyond those specified.

The values of floating-point constants are as follows:

Constant Value

<limits.h>

The limit values in <limits.h> are implemented as follows:

Limit Value
AIO_LISTIO_MAX Indeterminate
AIO_MAX Indeterminate
AIO_PRIO_DELTA_MAX Indeterminate
ARG_MAX 61440
ATEXIT_MAX 32
CHILD_MAX Indeterminate
DELAYTIMER_MAX 1048576
HOST_NAME_MAX Indeterminate
IOV_MAX Indeterminate
LOGIN_NAME_MAX Indeterminate
MQ_OPEN_MAX Determined by the mqueue or mq server.

The maximum value is set to 1024, but a lower limit may be imposed by the process RLIMIT_NOFILE limit, as the implementation is via file descriptors.

MQ_PRIO_MAX 32
OPEN_MAX Determined by the maximum number of file descriptors available to a process.

The default limit is 1000, but this can be altered using a configuration option to the kernel when building the system image.

The minimum value that can be supplied is 100, with no imposed maximum.

A lower limit may be imposed by the processRLIMIT_NOFILE limit.

PAGESIZE 4096
PAGE_SIZE 4096
PTHREAD_DESTRUCTOR_ITERATIONS 4
PTHREAD_KEYS_MAX 128
PTHREAD_STACK_MIN 256
PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX 32767
RE_DUP_MAX 255
RTSIG_MAX 16
SEM_NSEMS_MAX For unnamed semaphores, this is indeterminate.

For named semaphores, the limit is determined by the mqueue server. The maximum is set to 4096, but a lower limit may be imposed by the process RLIMIT_NOFILE limit, as the implementation is via file descriptors.

SEM_VALUE_MAX 1073741824
SIGQUEUE_MAX Indeterminate
SS_REPL_MAX 65535
STREAM_MAX Indeterminate
SYMLOOP_MAX Indeterminate
TIMER_MAX Indeterminate
TTY_NAME_MAX Indeterminate
TZNAME_MAX 30
FILESIZEBITS Depends on the filesystem implementation.

The value for all currently supported filesystems is 32.

LINK_MAX 65535
MAX_CANON Depends on the character device driver.

The default is 256, but may be changed by the -C driver command-line option.

MAX_INPUT Depends on the character device driver.

The default is 256, but may be changed by the -C driver command-line option.

NAME_MAX Depends on the filesystem implementation.

Most filesystems impose a limit of 255; the ETFS filesystem imposes a limit of 91.

PATH_MAX Depends on the filesystem implementation.

Most filesystems impose a limit of 1024; the ETFS filesystem imposes a limit of 255.

PIPE_BUF 512
SYMLINK_MAX Depends on the filesystem implementation.

Most filesystems impose a limit of 1024; the ETFS filesystem imposes a limit of 256.

<math.h>

If FLT_EVAL_METHOD has a value other than 0, 1 or 2, the type definitions for float_t and double_t are float and double, respectively.

No implementation-defined floating-point classification macros are defined.

The default state of the FP_CONTRACT pragma is off. Note that gcc doesn't currently support this pragma.

<signal.h>

Realtime signal behavior is supported for signals outside of the range SIGRTMIN through SIGRTMAX.

The following additional signals are defined in <signal.h>:

<sys/stat.h>

There are no additional implementation-defined bits that can be ORed into S_IRWXU, S_IRWXG, and S_IRWXO.

<time.h>

The maximum possible clock jump for the system-wide monotonic clock is the same as the system clock resolution:

The system clock resolution can be set using the QNX-specific ClockPeriod() kernel call using the CLOCK_REALTIME clock.
