softlimit(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      softlimit(8)

NAME

       softlimit - runs another program with new resource limits.

SYNOPSIS

       softlimit [ opts ] child

DESCRIPTION

       opts is a series of getopt-style options.  child consists of one or more arguments.

       softlimit sets soft resource limits as specified by opts.  It then runs child.

OPTIONS

       In each of the following opts, n may be =, indicating that the soft limit should be set equal to the hard limit.

       opts controlling memory use:

       -m n   Same as -d n -s n -l n -a n.

       -d n   Limit the data segment per process to n bytes.

       -s n   Limit the stack segment per process to n bytes.

       -l n   Limit the locked physical pages per process to n bytes. This option has no effect on some operating systems.

       -a n   Limit the total of all segments per process to n bytes. This option has no effect on some operating systems.

       -o n   Limit the number of open file descriptors per process to n.  This option has no effect on some operating systems.

       -p n   Limit the number of processes per uid to n.

       opts controlling file sizes:

       -f n   Limit output file sizes to n bytes.

       -c n   Limit core file sizes to n bytes.

       Efficiency opts:

       -r n   Limit the resident set size to n bytes. This limit is not enforced unless physical memory is full.

       -t n   Limit the CPU time to n seconds. This limit is not enforced except that the process receives a SIGXCPU signal after n seconds.

posix_getrlimit - Return info about system resource limits

SYNOPSIS

       array posix_getrlimit (void  )

DESCRIPTION

       posix_getrlimit(3) returns an array of information about the current resource's soft and hard limits.

	Each  resource has an associated soft and hard limit. The soft limit is the value that the kernel enforces for the corresponding resource.
       The hard limit acts as a ceiling for the soft limit. An unprivileged process may only set its soft limit to a value  from  0  to  the  hard
       limit, and irreversibly lower its hard limit.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns an associative array of elements for each limit that is defined. Each limit has a soft and a hard limit.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Example use of posix_getrlimit(3)

	      <?php

	      $limits = posix_getrlimit();

	      print_r($limits);
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      Array
	      (
		  [soft core] => 0
		  [hard core] => unlimited
		  [soft data] => unlimited
		  [hard data] => unlimited
		  [soft stack] => 8388608
		  [hard stack] => unlimited
		  [soft totalmem] => unlimited
		  [hard totalmem] => unlimited
		  [soft rss] => unlimited
		  [hard rss] => unlimited
		  [soft maxproc] => unlimited
		  [hard maxproc] => unlimited
		  [soft memlock] => unlimited
		  [hard memlock] => unlimited
		  [soft cpu] => unlimited
		  [hard cpu] => unlimited
		  [soft filesize] => unlimited
		  [hard filesize] => unlimited
		  [soft openfiles] => 1024
		  [hard openfiles] => 1024
	      )

NOTES

       Note

	       This is a not POSIX function, but is common on BSD and System V systems. If the system does not support this function, then it will
	      not be included at compile time. This may be checked with function_exists(3).
