New submission from Enji Cooper <yaneurab...@gmail.com>:
getdtablesize({2,3}) is a wonderful library call/system call to have access to
because it allows one to determine the descriptor limits at runtime in an
easier manner than having to do the equivalent with os.sysconf(..):
>>> os.sysconf(os.sysconf_names["SC_OPEN_MAX"])
This has been present in *BSD since time memorial [1] and in Linux since 2010
[2], so I think it would be a good addition to the `os` (`posix`) module.
I will submit a diff for this in a few days, if it's deemed acceptable to have
in the `posix` module.
