Bug#725935: getconf: Should support _SC_* prefixed names
Package: libc-bin
Version: 2.17-93
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/getconf
$ getconf _SC_OPEN_MAX
getconf: Unrecognized variable `_SC_OPEN_MAX'
$ getconf OPEN_MAX
1024
getconf's manpage says it supports names listed in the sysconf manpage, but
only the unprefixed names work, not the prefixed ones.
