Hello everybody,

Iam Mahesh, new to hp-ux & this forum as well. I want know which function gives the system open file table's current value in hp-ux. Also I would like to know the same in linux.

Thanks,
Mahesh

Do you mean function because you want to call it in C, or command?

You can query the current nfile value by using kctune(1m) for 11.23 and kmtune(1m) for 11.11.

For linux, you'll need to ask in a linux forum.

Yes Dennis, I want to call it in C (testcases).

Thanks,
Mahesh

I don't see a particular pstat(2) call that will return nfile. I suppose you are left with calling kctune/kmtune from system(3).
