getconf —
| getconf | system_var | 
| getconf | path_var pathname | 
| getconf | -a[pathname] | 
getconf utility writes the current value of a
  configurable system limit or option variable to the standard output.
The system_var argument specifies the system
    variable to be queried. The names of the system variables are from
    sysconf(3) with the leading
    “_SC_” removed.
The path_var argument specifies the pathname
    variable to be queried for the specified pathname
    argument. The names of the pathname variables are from
    pathconf(2) with the leading
    “_PC_” removed.
When invoked with the option -a,
    getconf writes a list of all applicable variables
    and their values to the standard output, in the format
    “name =
  value”.
For compatibility with other operating systems,
    getconf will ignore leading underscores in the names
    specified in the system_var and
    path_var arguments.
getconf utility exits 0 on success,
  and >0 if an error occurs.
$ getconf NPROCESSORS_CONF
To retrieve the maximum number of bytes (excluding the trailing
    NUL) for a filename in the current directory,

  Std 1003.2-1992 (“POSIX.2”).
