getrlimit(2) getrlimit(2)
The total address space used by a process depends on the platform it is run on. When porting applica-
tions, limits set by setrlimit() with RLIMIT_AS
may need to be adjusted. For example, programs
tend to use more memory on Itanium-based systems than on PA-RISC systems.
AUTHOR
getrlimit() and setrlimit() were developed by HP, AT&T, and the University of California,
Berkeley.
