-----------------------

 - Function: long int sysconf (int PARAMETER)
     This function is used to inquire about runtime system parameters.
     The PARAMETER argument should be one of the `_SC_' symbols listed

     A value of `-1' is returned both if the implementation does not
     impose a limit, and in case of an error.

     The following `errno' error conditions are defined for this
     function:

    `EINVAL'
          The value of the PARAMETER is invalid.
