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 constants 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 symbols from <sys/time.h>.
