Each subsequent row describes the configuration information for resource consumers and the
limits that apply to them. Each line must contain an entry for each keyword. Use empty
parentheses () or a dash (-) to specify the default value for an entry. Fields cannot be left blank.
For resources, the default is no limit; for consumers, the default is all consumers.
Tip:
Multiple entries must be enclosed in parentheses. For
RESOURCE and LICENSE limits, resource and license names
must be enclosed in parentheses.
Horizontal format
Use the horizontal format to give a name for your limits and to configure more complicated
combinations of consumers and resource limits.
