The following two C programs are used to demonstrate the usage of the prlimit(2) API:
- The first program, rlimits_show.c, queries all resource limits for the current or calling process and prints out their values.
- The second, given a CPU resource limit (in seconds), runs a simple prime number generator under the influence of that limit.
For readability, only the relevant parts of the code are displayed. To view and run it, the entire source code is available at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-on-System-Programming-with-Linux.
Refer to the following code:
/* From ch3/rlimits_show.c */#define ARRAY_LEN(arr) (sizeof((arr))/sizeof((arr)[0]))static void query_rlimits(void){ unsigned i; struct rlimit rlim; struct rlimpair ...
