<sys/resource.h>(0P)       POSIX Programmer's Manual      <sys/resource.h>(0P)

NAME
       sys/resource.h - definitions for XSI resource operations
SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/resource.h>
DESCRIPTION
       The  <sys/resource.h>  header  shall define the following symbolic con-
       stants as possible values of the which argument  of  getpriority()  and
       setpriority():
       PRIO_PROCESS
              Identifies the who argument as a process ID.
       PRIO_PGRP
              Identifies the who argument as a process group ID.
       PRIO_USER
              Identifies the who argument as a user ID.

       The following type shall be defined through typedef:
       rlim_t Unsigned integer type used for limit values.

       The following symbolic constants shall be defined:
       RLIM_INFINITY
              A value of rlim_t indicating no limit.
       RLIM_SAVED_MAX
              A  value of type rlim_t indicating an unrepresentable saved hard
              limit.
       RLIM_SAVED_CUR
              A value of type rlim_t indicating an unrepresentable saved  soft
              limit.

       On  implementations  where  all resource limits are representable in an
       object of type rlim_t, RLIM_SAVED_MAX and RLIM_SAVED_CUR  need  not  be
       distinct from RLIM_INFINITY.
       The following symbolic constants shall be defined as possible values of
       the who parameter of getrusage():
       RUSAGE_SELF
              Returns information about the current process.
       RUSAGE_CHILDREN
              Returns information about children of the current process.

       The <sys/resource.h> header shall  define  the  rlimit  structure  that
       includes at least the following members:

              rlim_t rlim_cur  The current (soft) limit.
              rlim_t rlim_max  The hard limit.
       The  <sys/resource.h>  header  shall  define  the rusage structure that
       includes at least the following members:

              struct timeval ru_utime  User time used.
              struct timeval ru_stime  System time used.
       The timeval structure shall be defined as described in <sys/time.h> .
       The following symbolic constants shall be defined  as  possible  values
       for the resource argument of getrlimit() and setrlimit():
       RLIMIT_CORE
              Limit on size of core file.
       RLIMIT_CPU
              Limit on CPU time per process.
       RLIMIT_DATA
              Limit on data segment size.
       RLIMIT_FSIZE
              Limit on file size.
       RLIMIT_NOFILE
              Limit on number of open files.
       RLIMIT_STACK
              Limit on stack size.
       RLIMIT_AS
              Limit on address space size.

       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

              int  getpriority(int, id_t);
              int  getrlimit(int, struct rlimit *);
              int  getrusage(int, struct rusage *);
              int  setpriority(int, id_t, int);
              int  setrlimit(int, const struct rlimit *);
       The id_t  type  shall  be  defined  through  typedef  as  described  in
       <sys/types.h> .
       Inclusion of the <sys/resource.h> header may also make visible all sym-
       bols from <sys/time.h>.
