Function raiseFileDescriptorLimit [src]

Raise the open file descriptor limit. On some systems, this raises the limit before seeing ProcessFdQuotaExceeded errors. On other systems, this does nothing.

Prototype

pub fn raiseFileDescriptorLimit() void

Example

 test raiseFileDescriptorLimit {
    raiseFileDescriptorLimit();
}

Source

  pub fn raiseFileDescriptorLimit() void {
    const have_rlimit = posix.rlimit_resource != void;

    if (native_os.isDarwin()) {
        // On Darwin, `NOFILE` is bounded by a hardcoded value `OPEN_MAX`.
        // According to the man pages for setrlimit():
        //   setrlimit() now returns with errno set to EINVAL in places that historically succeeded.
        //   It no longer accepts "rlim_cur = RLIM.INFINITY" for RLIM.NOFILE.
        //   Use "rlim_cur = min(OPEN_MAX, rlim_max)".
        lim.max = @min(std.c.OPEN_MAX, lim.max);
