maxfiles_lim(5) maxfiles_lim(5)
(Tunable Kernel Parameters)
WARNINGS
For values greater than 65535, compatibility for the obsolescent
pstat_getfile()
will be affected.
For correct operation, all applications must use
pstat_getfile2()
instead of pstat_getfile()
.
If the system still has applications using
pstat_getfile()
, setting
maxfiles_lim to 65535 or less
will maintain compatibility, unless the process being queried has used
setrlimit() to change its max-
imum limit of open files to a value greater than 65535.
All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific. This parameter may be removed or have its
meaning changed in future releases of HP-UX.
