+@c Some parts of the implementation open /proc and /sys files and dirs

+@c time; there are free and strdup calls in there too.  The returned max
+@c value may change over time for TZNAME_MAX, depending on selected
+@c timezones; NPROCS, NPROCS_CONF, PHYS_PAGES, AVPHYS_PAGES,
+@c NGROUPS_MAX, SIGQUEUE_MAX, depending on variable values read from

 This function is used to inquire about runtime system parameters.  The
 @var{parameter} argument should be one of the @samp{_SC_} symbols listed
 below.

 This is just like @code{pathconf} except that an open file descriptor
 is used to specify the file for which information is requested, instead
