- I support the idea of making the limits available at run-time, but
- let's not copy Berkeley's naming (getdlimit or whatever it is). There
- should be just *one* call that gets all the limits into a struct;
- Berkeley compatability can be achieved with "wrapper" routines.
-
- UniSoft has already done 90% of the work of this call by moving
- everything that used to be in param.h into a structure named 'v'. This
- was done so that binary customers could patch NPROC et al easily, but a
- system call that returned the contents of 'v' would be trivial to add.
- Maybe we could get AT&T to buy the changes (they're extensive) from UniSoft.
-
- [ 3B20 System V Release 2 has this, so maybe they did.
- Personally, I don't like it. -mod ]
