Never mind.

It doesn't state it in that area of the header, but rather at the top: The <limits.h> header shall define macros and symbolic constants for various limits. Different categories of limits are described below, representing various limits on resources that the implementation imposes on applications. All macros and symbolic constants defined in this header shall be suitable for use in #if preprocessing directives. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
