ULIMIT(3) | Linux Programmer's Manual | ULIMIT(3) |
ulimit - get and set user limits
#include <ulimit.h>
long ulimit(int cmd, long newlimit);
Warning: This routine is obsolete. The include file is no longer provided by glibc. Use getrlimit(2), setrlimit(2) and sysconf(3) instead. For the shell command ulimit, see bash(1).
The ulimit call will get or set some limit for the current process. The cmd argument can have one of the following values.
On success, ulimit returns a nonnegative value. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
SVID.
