/* $Source: /u/mark/src/pax/RCS/limits.h,v $
*
* $Revision: 1.2 $
*
* limits.h - POSIX compatible defnitions for some of <limits.h>
*
* DESCRIPTION
*
* We need to include <limits.h> if this system is being compiled with an
* ANSI standard C compiler, or if we are running on a POSIX confomrming
* system. If the manifest constant _POSIX_SOURCE is not defined when
* <limits.h> is included, then none of the POSIX constants are defined
* and we need to define them here. It's a bit wierd, but it works.
*
* These values where taken from the IEEE P1003.1 standard, draft 12.
* All of the values below are the MINIMUM values allowed by the standard.
* Not all values are used by the PAX program, but they are included for
* completeness, and for support of future enhancements. Please see
* section 2.9 of the draft standard for more information on the following
* constants.
