If you are playing with traditional things such as max file sizes and the like, then these two system calls should work just as expected. If, however, you are trying to play with things such as stack limits, the calls behave very differently from each other. They do work though, the document just needs to be read to determine the right values to plug in. I seem to remember something about setrlimit not taking absolute sizes as ulimit does. It takes addresses relative to the stack floor. Something like that. The key point is that the calls are different and you need to be aware of that. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve McDowell Exploration Logging, Inc.
