.BR prlimit ():
_GNU_SOURCE
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR getrlimit ()
and
.BR setrlimit ()
system calls get and set resource limits respectively.
Each resource has an associated soft and hard limit, as defined by the
.I rlimit
structure:
.PP
.in +4n
.nf
struct rlimit {
    rlim_t rlim_cur;  /* Soft limit */
    rlim_t rlim_max;  /* Hard limit (ceiling for rlim_cur) */
};

.fi
.in
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 set only its soft limit to a value in the
range from 0 up to the hard limit, and (irreversibly) lower its hard limit.
A privileged process (under Linux: one with the
.B CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
capability) may make arbitrary changes to either limit value.
.PP
The value
.B RLIM_INFINITY
denotes no limit on a resource (both in the structure returned by
.BR getrlimit ()
and in the structure passed to
.BR setrlimit ()).
.PP
The
.I resource
argument must be one of:
.TP
.B RLIMIT_AS
The maximum size of the process's virtual memory (address space) in bytes.
.\" since 2.0.27 / 2.1.12
This limit affects calls to
.BR brk (2),
.BR mmap (2),
and
.BR mremap (2),
which fail with the error
.B ENOMEM
upon exceeding this limit.
Also automatic stack expansion will fail
(and generate a
.B SIGSEGV
that kills the process if no alternate stack
has been made available via
.BR sigaltstack (2)).
Since the value is a \fIlong\fP, on machines with a 32-bit \fIlong\fP
either this limit is at most 2 GiB, or this resource is unlimited.
.TP
.B RLIMIT_CORE
Maximum size of a
.I core
file (see
.BR core (5)).
When 0 no core dump files are created.
When nonzero, larger dumps are truncated to this size.
.TP
.B RLIMIT_CPU
CPU time limit in seconds.
When the process reaches the soft limit, it is sent a
.B SIGXCPU
signal.
The default action for this signal is to terminate the process.
However, the signal can be caught, and the handler can return control to
the main program.
If the process continues to consume CPU time, it will be sent
.B SIGXCPU
once per second until the hard limit is reached, at which time
it is sent
.BR SIGKILL .
(This latter point describes Linux behavior.
Implementations vary in how they treat processes which continue to
consume CPU time after reaching the soft limit.
Portable applications that need to catch this signal should
perform an orderly termination upon first receipt of
.BR SIGXCPU .)
.TP
.B RLIMIT_DATA
The maximum size of the process's data segment (initialized data,
uninitialized data, and heap).
This limit affects calls to
.BR brk (2)
and
.BR sbrk (2),
which fail with the error
.B ENOMEM
upon encountering the soft limit of this resource.
.TP
.B RLIMIT_FSIZE
The maximum size of files that the process may create.
Attempts to extend a file beyond this limit result in delivery of a
.B SIGXFSZ
signal.
By default, this signal terminates a process, but a process can
catch this signal instead, in which case the relevant system call (e.g.,
.BR write (2),
.BR truncate (2))
fails with the error
.BR EFBIG .
.TP
.BR RLIMIT_LOCKS " (Early Linux 2.4 only)"
.\" to be precise: Linux 2.4.0-test9; no longer in 2.4.25 / 2.5.65
A limit on the combined number of
.BR flock (2)
locks and
.BR fcntl (2)
leases that this process may establish.
.TP
.B RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
The maximum number of bytes of memory that may be locked
into RAM.
In effect this limit is rounded down to the nearest multiple
of the system page size.
This limit affects
.BR mlock (2)
and
.BR mlockall (2)
and the
.BR mmap (2)
.B MAP_LOCKED
operation.
Since Linux 2.6.9 it also affects the
.BR shmctl (2)
.B SHM_LOCK
operation, where it sets a maximum on the total bytes in
shared memory segments (see
.BR shmget (2))
that may be locked by the real user ID of the calling process.
The
.BR shmctl (2)
.B SHM_LOCK
locks are accounted for separately from the per-process memory
locks established by
.BR mlock (2),
.BR mlockall (2),
and
.BR mmap (2)
.BR MAP_LOCKED ;
a process can lock bytes up to this limit in each of these
two categories.

In Linux kernels before 2.6.9, this limit controlled the amount of
memory that could be locked by a privileged process.
Since Linux 2.6.9, no limits are placed on the amount of memory
that a privileged process may lock, and this limit instead governs
the amount of memory that an unprivileged process may lock.
.TP
.BR RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE " (since Linux 2.6.8)"
Specifies the limit on the number of bytes that can be allocated
for POSIX message queues for the real user ID of the calling process.
This limit is enforced for
.BR mq_open (3).
Each message queue that the user creates counts (until it is removed)
against this limit according to the formula:
.nf

    Since Linux 3.5:

        bytes = attr.mq_maxmsg * sizeof(struct msg_msg) +
                min(attr.mq_maxmsg, MQ_PRIO_MAX) *
                      sizeof(struct posix_msg_tree_node)+
                                /* For overhead */
                attr.mq_maxmsg * attr.mq_msgsize;
                                /* For message data */

    Linux 3.4 and earlier:

        bytes = attr.mq_maxmsg * sizeof(struct msg_msg *) +
                                /* For overhead */
                attr.mq_maxmsg * attr.mq_msgsize;
                                /* For message data */

.fi
where
.I attr
is the
.I mq_attr
structure specified as the fourth argument to
.BR mq_open (3),
and the
.I msg_msg
and
.I posix_msg_tree_node
structures are kernel-internal structures.

The "overhead" addend in the formula accounts for overhead
bytes required by the implementation
and ensures that the user cannot
create an unlimited number of zero-length messages (such messages
nevertheless each consume some system memory for bookkeeping overhead).
.TP
.BR RLIMIT_NICE " (since Linux 2.6.12, but see BUGS below)"
Specifies a ceiling to which the process's nice value can be raised using
.BR setpriority (2)
or
.BR nice (2).
The actual ceiling for the nice value is calculated as
.IR "20\ \-\ rlim_cur" .
(This strangeness occurs because negative numbers cannot be specified
as resource limit values, since they typically have special meanings.
For example,
.B RLIM_INFINITY
typically is the same as \-1.)
.TP
.B RLIMIT_NOFILE
Specifies a value one greater than the maximum file descriptor number
that can be opened by this process.
Attempts
.RB ( open (2),
.BR pipe (2),
.BR dup (2),
etc.)
to exceed this limit yield the error
.BR EMFILE .
(Historically, this limit was named
.B RLIMIT_OFILE
on BSD.)
.TP
.B RLIMIT_NPROC
The maximum number of processes (or, more precisely on Linux, threads)
that can be created for the real user ID of the calling process.
Upon encountering this limit,
.BR fork (2)
fails with the error
.BR EAGAIN .
This limit is not enforced for processes that have either the
.B CAP_SYS_ADMIN
or the
.B CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
capability.
.TP
.B RLIMIT_RSS
Specifies the limit (in bytes) of the process's resident set
(the number of virtual pages resident in RAM).
This limit has effect only in Linux 2.4.x, x < 30, and there
affects only calls to
.BR madvise (2)
specifying
.BR MADV_WILLNEED .
.\" As at kernel 2.6.12, this limit still does nothing in 2.6 though
.\" talk of making it do something has surfaced from time to time in LKML
.\"       -- MTK, Jul 05
.TP
.BR RLIMIT_RTPRIO " (since Linux 2.6.12, but see BUGS)"
Specifies a ceiling on the real-time priority that may be set for
this process using
.BR sched_setscheduler (2)
and
.BR sched_setparam (2).
.TP
.BR RLIMIT_RTTIME " (since Linux 2.6.25)"
Specifies a limit (in microseconds)
on the amount of CPU time that a process scheduled
under a real-time scheduling policy may consume without making a blocking
system call.
For the purpose of this limit,
each time a process makes a blocking system call,
the count of its consumed CPU time is reset to zero.
The CPU time count is not reset if the process continues trying to
use the CPU but is preempted, its time slice expires, or it calls
.BR sched_yield (2).

Upon reaching the soft limit, the process is sent a
.B SIGXCPU
signal.
If the process catches or ignores this signal and
continues consuming CPU time, then
.B SIGXCPU
will be generated once each second until the hard limit is reached,
at which point the process is sent a
.B SIGKILL
signal.

The intended use of this limit is to stop a runaway
real-time process from locking up the system.
.TP
.BR RLIMIT_SIGPENDING " (since Linux 2.6.8)"
Specifies the limit on the number of signals
that may be queued for the real user ID of the calling process.
Both standard and real-time signals are counted for the purpose of
checking this limit.
However, the limit is enforced only for
.BR sigqueue (3);
it is always possible to use
.BR kill (2)
to queue one instance of any of the signals that are not already
queued to the process.
.\" This replaces the /proc/sys/kernel/rtsig-max system-wide limit
.\" that was present in kernels <= 2.6.7.  MTK Dec 04
.TP
.B RLIMIT_STACK
The maximum size of the process stack, in bytes.
Upon reaching this limit, a
.B SIGSEGV
signal is generated.
To handle this signal, a process must employ an alternate signal stack
.RB ( sigaltstack (2)).

Since Linux 2.6.23,
this limit also determines the amount of space used for the process's
command-line arguments and environment variables; for details, see
.BR execve (2).

.\"     rlimits: add rlimit64 structure
.\"
The Linux-specific
.BR prlimit ()
system call combines and extends the functionality of
.BR setrlimit ()
and
.BR getrlimit ().
It can be used to both set and get the resource limits of an arbitrary process.

The
.I resource
argument has the same meaning as for
.BR setrlimit ()
and
.BR getrlimit ().

If the
.IR new_limit
argument is a not NULL, then the
.I rlimit
structure to which it points is used to set new values for
the soft and hard limits for
.IR resource .
If the
.IR old_limit
argument is a not NULL, then a successful call to
.BR prlimit ()
places the previous soft and hard limits for
.I resource
in the
.I rlimit
structure pointed to by
.IR old_limit .

The
.I pid
argument specifies the ID of the process on which the call is to operate.
If
.I pid
is 0, then the call applies to the calling process.
To set or get the resources of a process other than itself,
the caller must have the
.B CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
capability in the user namespace of the process
whose resource limits are being changed, or the
real, effective, and saved set user IDs of the target process
must match the real user ID of the caller
.I and
the real, effective, and saved set group IDs of the target process
must match the real group ID of the caller.

.SH NOTES
A child process created via
.BR fork (2)
inherits its parent's resource limits.
Resource limits are preserved across
.BR execve (2).

Lowering the soft limit for a resource below the process's
current consumption of that resource will succeed
(but will prevent the process from further increasing
its consumption of the resource).

One can set the resource limits of the shell using the built-in
.IR ulimit
command
.RI ( limit
in
.BR csh (1)).
The shell's resource limits are inherited by the processes that
it creates to execute commands.

Since Linux 2.6.24, the resource limits of any process can be inspected via
.IR /proc/[pid]/limits ;
see
.BR proc (5).

Ancient systems provided a
.BR vlimit ()
function with a similar purpose to
.BR setrlimit ().
For backward compatibility, glibc also provides
.BR vlimit ().
All new applications should be written using
.BR setrlimit ().
.SS C library/ kernel ABI differences
Since version 2.13, the glibc
.BR getrlimit ()
and
.BR setrlimit ()
wrapper functions no longer invoke the corresponding system calls,
but instead employ
.BR prlimit (),
for the reasons described in BUGS.

The name of the glibc wrapper function is
.BR prlimit ();
the underlying system call is
.BR prlimit64 ().
.SH BUGS
In older Linux kernels, the
.B SIGXCPU
and
.B SIGKILL
signals delivered when a process encountered the soft and hard
.B RLIMIT_CPU
limits were delivered one (CPU) second later than they should have been.
This was fixed in kernel 2.6.8.

In 2.6.x kernels before 2.6.17, a
.B RLIMIT_CPU
limit of 0 is wrongly treated as "no limit" (like
.BR RLIM_INFINITY ).
Since Linux 2.6.17, setting a limit of 0 does have an effect,
but is actually treated as a limit of 1 second.
.\" see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114008066530167&w=2

A kernel bug means that
.\" See https://lwn.net/Articles/145008/
.B RLIMIT_RTPRIO
does not work in kernel 2.6.12; the problem is fixed in kernel 2.6.13.

In kernel 2.6.12, there was an off-by-one mismatch
between the priority ranges returned by
.BR getpriority (2)
and
.BR RLIMIT_NICE .
This had the effect that the actual ceiling for the nice value
was calculated as
.IR "19\ \-\ rlim_cur" .
This was fixed in kernel 2.6.13.

.\" Date: 2005-01-23 23:27:46 GMT
if a process reaches its soft
.BR RLIMIT_CPU
limit and has a handler installed for
.BR SIGXCPU ,
then, in addition to invoking the signal handler,
the kernel increases the soft limit by one second.
This behavior repeats if the process continues to consume CPU time,
until the hard limit is reached,
at which point the process is killed.
Other implementations
.\" Tested Solaris 10, FreeBSD 9, OpenBSD 5.0
do not change the
.BR RLIMIT_CPU
soft limit in this manner,

portable applications should avoid relying on this Linux-specific behavior.
.\" FIXME . https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50951
The Linux-specific
.BR RLIMIT_RTTIME
limit exhibits the same behavior when the soft limit is encountered.

Kernels before 2.4.22 did not diagnose the error
.B EINVAL
for
.BR setrlimit ()
when
.I rlim\->rlim_cur
was greater than
.IR rlim\->rlim_max .

.SS Representation of """large""" resource limit values on 32-bit platforms
The glibc
.BR getrlimit ()
and
.BR setrlimit ()
wrapper functions use a 64-bit
.IR rlim_t
data type, even on 32-bit platforms.
However, the
.I rlim_t
data type used in the
.BR getrlimit ()
and
.BR setrlimit ()
system calls is a (32-bit)
.IR "unsigned long" .
Furthermore, in Linux versions before 2.6.36,
the kernel represents resource limits on 32-bit platforms as
.IR "unsigned long" .
However, a 32-bit data type is not wide enough.
.\" https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5042
.\" http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12201
The most pertinent limit here is
.BR RLIMIT_FSIZE ,
which specifies the maximum size to which a file can grow:
to be useful, this limit must be represented using a type
that is as wide as the type used to
represent file offsets\(emthat is, as wide as a 64-bit
.BR off_t
(assuming a program compiled with
.IR _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 ).

To work around this kernel limitation,
if a program tried to set a resource limit to a value larger than
can be represented in a 32-bit
.IR "unsigned long" ,
then the glibc
.BR setrlimit ()
wrapper function silently converted the limit value to
.BR RLIM_INFINITY .
In other words, the requested resource limit setting was silently ignored.

This problem was addressed in Linux 2.6.36 with two principal changes:
.IP * 3
the addition of a new kernel representation of resource limits that
uses 64 bits, even on 32-bit platforms;
.IP *
the addition of the
.BR prlimit ()
system call, which employs 64-bit values for its resource limit arguments.
.PP
Since version 2.13,
.\" https://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12201
glibc works around the limitations of the
.BR getrlimit ()
and
.BR setrlimit ()
system calls by implementing
.BR setrlimit ()
and
.BR getrlimit ()
as wrapper functions that call
.BR prlimit ().
