getconf:tldr:15cf9
The command "getconf -a ${path-to-directory}" retrieves configuration information for the specified directory. Here's an explanation of each part of the command: - "getconf" is a command-line utility in Unix-like operating systems that is used to query configuration system variables. - "-a" is an option or flag that tells the "getconf" command to display all available configuration variables and their values. - "${path-to-directory}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the directory you want to retrieve configuration information for. The path can be absolute (starting from the root directory) or relative to the current working directory. By executing this command, you will get a list of configuration variables related to the specified directory, including information such as file system limits, file name length limits, terminal settings, etc.
