getrlimit \- query resource consumption limits
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.ft B
#include <sys/resource.h>
int getrlimit(int \fIresource\fP, struct rlimit *\fIrlp\fP);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
getrlimit queries the current resource limit regarding the specified
\fIresource\fP. This can be one of the following: RLIMIT_CORE, RLIMIT_CPU,
RLIMIT_DATA, RLIMIT_FSIZE, RLIMIT_NOFILE, RLIMIT_STACK or RLIMIT_AS.
The soft limit is specified in \fIrlp\fP\->rlim_cur and the hard limit in
\fIrlp\fP\->rlim_max. On MINIX, these are currently always the same.
A value of RLIM_INFINITY specifies that no limit is enforced, although
architectural limits may still apply.
.SH "RETURN VALUE
If the function succeeds, 0 is returned.
If the function fails, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the
cause of the failure.
