posix_getrlimit - Return info about system resource limits

SYNOPSIS

       array posix_getrlimit (void  )

DESCRIPTION

       posix_getrlimit(3) returns an array of information about the current resource's soft and hard limits.

	Each  resource has an associated soft and hard limit. 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 only set its soft limit to a value  from  0  to  the  hard
       limit, and irreversibly lower its hard limit.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns an associative array of elements for each limit that is defined. Each limit has a soft and a hard limit.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Example use of posix_getrlimit(3)

	      <?php

	      $limits = posix_getrlimit();

	      print_r($limits);
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      Array
	      (
		  [soft core] => 0
		  [hard core] => unlimited
		  [soft data] => unlimited
		  [hard data] => unlimited
		  [soft stack] => 8388608
		  [hard stack] => unlimited
		  [soft totalmem] => unlimited
		  [hard totalmem] => unlimited
		  [soft rss] => unlimited
		  [hard rss] => unlimited
		  [soft maxproc] => unlimited
		  [hard maxproc] => unlimited
		  [soft memlock] => unlimited
		  [hard memlock] => unlimited
		  [soft cpu] => unlimited
		  [hard cpu] => unlimited
		  [soft filesize] => unlimited
		  [hard filesize] => unlimited
		  [soft openfiles] => 1024
		  [hard openfiles] => 1024
	      )

NOTES

       Note

	       This is a not POSIX function, but is common on BSD and System V systems. If the system does not support this function, then it will
	      not be included at compile time. This may be checked with function_exists(3).
