Re: [RFC]: Provide IEEE 1003.1-2003 ulimit()

Jeff, he's right. It makes sense and fits neatly in existing newlib practice. It will require just two system calls (getrlimit and setrlimit) to be added to libgloss, and possibly not even that - who needs ulimit on embedded systems?

Also, getrlimit can found on just about any other major unix out there, [...]

truth to be told, the XSI standard marks ulimit, getrlimit and setrlimit as [XSI], i.e. they are UNIX-only interfaces, not required nor guaranteed to exist on a POSIX system
