get and set a process resource limits.

.SH SYNOPSIS

.RB [ \-\-{resource_name}[=limits]
|
|
.RB [ \-\-pid\ PID]

.RB [options]
|
|
.RB [ \-\-{resource_name}[=limits]]
|
|
.RB "command " [ argument ...]
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Given a process id and one or more resources, \fBprlimit\fP tries to retrieve
|
|
and/or modify the limits.
|
|
|
|
When \fIcommand\fR is given,
|
|
.B prlimit
|
|
will run this command with the given arguments.
|
|
|
|
The \fIlimits\fP format is composed by a soft and a hard (ceiling) value, separated
|
|
by a semicolon (:), in order to modify the existing value(s). If no limits are
|
|
used, \fBprlimit\fP will only display the current values. If one of the values
|
|
is not used, then the existing one will be used. To specify the unlimited or
|
|
infinity limit (RLIM_INFINITY), the -1 or 'unlimited' string can be passed.
|
|
|
|
Because of the nature of limits, the soft value must be lower or equal to the
|
|
high limit. To see all the available resource limits, refer to the RESOURCE
|
|
OPTIONS section.
|
|
|
|
.IP "\fB<soft>:<hard>\fP Specify both limits"
