Look at the /usr/include/sys/limits.h file for the exact value.
---snip--- (taken from a AIX 4.3.3 system)
#define INT_MAX (2147483647)
#define PID_MAX INT_MAX /* max value for a process ID,
---snip---
Thanks,

Subject: PID Length
Hi AIXer,
Any body have any idea about what is the max digits a PID can get. A
programmer asked me this in order to allocate a size for t PID in the
application. The most I have seen is 7. Do you have any clue ?
Thanks.
Basim
