+@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
+@c /proc at each call, and from rlimit-obtained values CHILD_MAX,
+@c OPEN_MAX, ARG_MAX, SIGQUEUE_MAX.
 This function is used to inquire about runtime system parameters.  The

 below.

 This is just like @code{pathconf} except that an open file descriptor
