Mac OS like everything apple travels to the beat of a different drum. I do not pretend to know a lot about it however this was true with Darwin:

If the kernel has no imposed open file limit or it is large, then there is a per process restriction in place if you get that kind of error. Assuming you don't have 8192 files open.

Code:

ulimit

What does that show you?

I am interested in knowing if anyone out there has been using the BSD UNIX that underlies MacOS X. Is this an "industrial strength" version of UNIX? Can I run X-Windows on such a machine? How about TeXing, pythoning, PERLing or using other useful UNIX goodies near and dear to my shrunken...

why，just beacuse that its the bottom layer uses a small amount of bsd code? In my opinion, macos and Unix are completely different. The directories are long directory structures. For example, /application, /system, /user, /volumes, etc. are completely different from the traditional /bin/ /sbin...

LEARN ABOUT OSX

ulimit

ULIMIT(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						 ULIMIT(3)

NAME

     ulimit -- get and set process limits

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <ulimit.h>

     long
     ulimit(int cmd, ...);

DESCRIPTION

     The ulimit() function will get and set process limits.  Currently, this is limited to the maximum file size.  The cmd argument is one of the
     following:

     UL_GETFSIZE  will return the maximum file size of the current process, in units of 512-byte blocks.

     UL_SETFSIZE  will attempt to set the maximum file size of the current process and its children, using the second argument (expressed as a
		  long).

RETURN VALUES

     Upon successful completion, ulimit() returns the value requested; otherwise, the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to
     indicate the error.

ERRORS

     The ulimit() function will fail if:

     [EINVAL]		The command specified was invalid.

     [EPERM]		The limit specified to ulimit() would have raised the maximum limit value, and the caller is not the super-user.

SEE ALSO

     getrlimit(2)

STANDARDS

     The ulimit() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').

HISTORY

     The ulimit() function first appeared in FreeBSD 5.0.

BUGS

     The ulimit() function provides limited precision for setting and retrieving process limits.  If there is a need for greater precision than
     the type long provides, the getrlimit(2) and setrlimit(2) functions should be considered.
