Hardcoded values of CHILD_MAX and OPEN_MAX differ. . The values for CHILD_MAX are 193122 v. 193527. . The values for OPEN_MAX are 16384 v. 65536 (both are powers of two). . These are getconf(1) symbolic constants, also defined in the system header files, but at least in the CHILD_MAX case I think the difference is because src/lib/libast/comp/conf.tab *measures* the constant's value by calling fork(2) in a loop until that fails. [This can't be the whole explanation: the measurement code always prints an even value, but 193527 is odd.] . conf.tab has similar code for measuring OPEN_MAX. |
