ULIMIT(1SH)             COMMAND REFERENCE             ULIMIT(1SH)



NAME
     ulimit - impose file size limit (sh built-in)

SYNOPSIS
     ulimit [ -f ] [ n ]

DESCRIPTION
     The maximum size (in 512-byte blocks) is changed to n. If no
     value is given, the current limit is printed.

     This only limits the size of a file being written to.

OPTIONS
     -f  Imposes file size limit. This is the default.

EXAMPLES
     Executing the command



          ulimit -f 100


     causes an error to occur whenever a file being written to
     becomes larger than 51200 bytes.

RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

CAVEATS
     Since this system supports a greater variety of limits,
     there should be a way to set them as well.
