|
<p>The <strong>setrlimit()</strong> function sets the resource limit for the
|
|
specified <em>resource</em>. A resource limit is a way for the operating system
|
|
to enforce a limit on a variety of resources used by a process. A resource
|
|
limit is represented by a rlimit structure. The rlim_cur member specifies the
|
|
current or soft limit and the rlim_max member specifies the maximum or hard
|
|
limit.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A soft limit can be changed to any value that is less than or equal to the
|
|
hard limit. The hard limit can be changed to any value that is greater than or
|
|
equal to the soft limit. Only a process with appropriate authorities can
|
|
increase a hard limit.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <strong>setrlimit()</strong> function supports the following
|
|
resources:</p>
|
|
|
|
<table cellpadding="5">
|
|
<!-- cols="15 85" -->
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>RLIMIT_FSIZE (0)</em></td>
|
|
<td align="left" valign="top">The maximum size of a file in bytes that can be
|
|
created by a process.</td>
|
|
</tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <strong>setrlimit()</strong> function does not support setting the
|
|
following resources: RLIMIT_AS, RLIMIT_CORE, RLIMIT_CPU, RLIMIT_DATA,
|
|
RLIMIT_NOFILE, and RLIMIT_STACK. The <strong>setrlimit()</strong> function
|
|
returns -1 and sets errno to ENOTSUP when called with one of these
|
|
resources.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The value of RLIM_INFINITY is considered to be larger than any other limit
|
|
value. If the value of the limit is set to RLIM_INFINITY, then a limit is not
|
|
enforced for that resource. If the value of the limit is set to RLIM_SAVED_MAX,
|
|
the new limit is the corresponding saved hard limit. If the value of the limit
|
|
is RLIM_SAVED_CUR, the new limit is the corresponding saved soft limit.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Parameters</h3>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><strong><em>resource</em></strong></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>(Input)
|
|
|

<p>The resource to set the limits for.</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><strong>*<em>rlp</em></strong></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>(Input)
|
|
|
|
<p>Pointer to a struct rlim_t that contains the new values for the hard and
|
|
soft limits.</p>
|
|
</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The current user profile must have *JOBCTL special authority to increase the
|
|
hard limit.</p>

<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>If <strong>setrlimit()</strong> is not successful, <em>errno</em> usually
|
|
indicates one of the following errors. Under some conditions, <em>errno</em>
|
|
could indicate an error other than those listed here.</p>
