The correct title of this article is limits.h. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.

limits.h is the header of the general purpose standard library of C programming language which includes definitions of the characteristics of variable types. The values are implementation specific, but may not be of lower magnitude than certain specified values in a conforming C implementation.
