Bullshit. Go look at the code before making pronouncements from on
high.
In particular, note the code which quite clearly states:
case _SC_CHILD_MAX:
return (getrlimit(RLIMIT_NPROC, &rl) ? -1 : rl.rlim_cur);
case _SC_CLK_TCK:
return (CLK_TCK);
There is no earthly reason why a:
case _SC_PAGESIZE:
return (getpagesize());
...cannot be added to this same switch statement.
