cmd to find process limits

Mark Schafer_2 — Tue, 31 Aug 2004 14:39:27 GMT

Without using kctune how does a user determine the limits of a 64-bit process? The shell limit and ulimit commands only return 32-bit limits.

Hi Mark,

That's a good question.
I suppose IF I said use
kmtune -q max?siz_64bit
that would be cheating?
It's not kctune ;~))

Seriously though I don't know how to answer that. Since ulimit is a shell internal & /sbin/sh is a 32-bit binary, I don't see how one can do this w/o some coding.
You may need to use the ulimit() function - specifically the UL_GETMAXBRK cmd of ulimit()
man 2 ulimt for details

Rgds,
Jeff

I accept that there is no user command to do this.
