The system_var argument specifies the system variable to be queried. The
names of the system variables are from sysconf(3) with the leading “_SC_”
removed.

the specified pathname argument. The names of the pathname variables are

When invoked with the option -a, getconf writes a list of all applicable
variables and their values to the standard output, in the format “name =
value”.
