.Sh 2 "Resource controls
|

.Sh 3 "Process priorities
|
|
.PP
|
|
The system gives CPU scheduling priority to processes that have not used
|
|
CPU time recently. This tends to favor interactive processes and
|
|
processes that execute only for short periods.
|
|
The instantaneous scheduling priority is a function of CPU usage
|
|
and a settable priority value used in adjusting the instantaneous
|
|
priority with CPU usage or inactivity.
|
|
It is possible to determine the settable priority factor currently
|
|
assigned to a process (PRIO_PROCESS),
|
|
process group (PRIO_PGRP),
|
|
or the processes of a specified user (PRIO_USER),
|
|
or to alter this priority using the calls:
|
|
.DS
|
|
.Fd getpriority 2 "get program scheduling priority
|
|
prio = getpriority(which, who);
|
|
result int prio; int which, who;
|
|
.DE
|
|
.DS
|
|
.Fd setpriority 3 "set program scheduling priority
|
|
setpriority(which, who, prio);
|
|
int which, who, prio;
|
|
.DE
|
|
The value \fIprio\fP is in the range \-20 to 20.
|
|
The default priority is 0; lower priorities cause more
|
|
favorable execution.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getpriority
|
|
call returns the highest priority (lowest numerical value)
|
|
enjoyed by any of the specified processes.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setpriority
|
|
call sets the priorities of all the
|
|
specified processes to the specified value.
|
|
Only the super-user may lower priorities.
|
|
.Sh 3 "Resource utilization
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getrusage
|
|
call returns information describing the resources utilized by the
|
|
current process (RUSAGE_SELF),
|
|
or all its terminated descendent processes (RUSAGE_CHILDREN):
|
|
.DS
|
|
.Fd getrusage 2 "get information about resource utilization
|
|
getrusage(who, rusage);
|
|
int who; result struct rusage *rusage;
|
|
.DE
|
|
The information is returned in a structure defined in \fI<sys/resource.h>\fP:
|
|
.DS
|
|
.TS
|
|
l s s s
|
|
l l l l.
|
|
struct rusage {
|
|
struct timeval ru_utime; /* user time used */
|
|
struct timeval ru_stime; /* system time used */
|
|
int ru_maxrss; /* maximum core resident set size: kbytes */
|
|
int ru_ixrss; /* integral shared memory size (kbytes*sec) */
|
|
int ru_idrss; /* unshared data memory size */
|
|
int ru_isrss; /* unshared stack memory size */
|
|
int ru_minflt; /* page-reclaims */
|
|
int ru_majflt; /* page faults */
|
|
int ru_nswap; /* swaps */
|
|
int ru_inblock; /* block input operations */
|
|
int ru_oublock; /* block output operations */
|
|
int ru_msgsnd; /* messages sent */
|
|
int ru_msgrcv; /* messages received */
|
|
int ru_nsignals; /* signals received */
|
|
int ru_nvcsw; /* voluntary context switches */
|

int ru_nivcsw; /* involuntary context switches */

.Sh 3 "Resource limits
|
|
.PP
|
|
The resources of a process for which limits are controlled by the
|
|
kernel are defined in \fI<sys/resource.h>\fP, and controlled by the
|
|
.Fn getrlimit
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn setrlimit
|
|
calls:
|
|
.DS
|
|
.Fd getrlimit 2 "get maximum system resource consumption
|
|
getrlimit(resource, rlp);
|
|
int resource; result struct rlimit *rlp;
|
|
.DE
|
|
.DS
|
|
.Fd setrlimit 2 "set maximum system resource consumption
|
|
setrlimit(resource, rlp);
|
|
int resource; struct rlimit *rlp;
|
|
.DE
|
|
The resources that may currently be controlled include:
|
|
.DS
|
|
.TS
|
|
l l.
|
|
RLIMIT_CPU /* cpu time in milliseconds */
|
|
RLIMIT_FSIZE /* maximum file size */
|
|
RLIMIT_DATA /* data size */
|
|
RLIMIT_STACK /* stack size */
|
|
RLIMIT_CORE /* core file size */
|
|
RLIMIT_RSS /* resident set size */
|
|
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK /* locked-in-memory address space */
|
|
RLIMIT_NPROC /* number of processes */
|
|
RLIMIT_NOFILE /* number of open files */
|
|
.TE
|
|
.DE
|
|
.ne 1i
|
|
Each limit has a current value and a maximum defined
|
|
by the \fIrlimit\fP structure:
|
|
.DS
|
|
.TS
|
|
l s s s
|
|
l l l l.
|
|
struct rlimit {
|
|
quad_t rlim_cur; /* current (soft) limit */
|
|
quad_t rlim_max; /* hard limit */
|
|
};
|
|
.TE
|
|
.DE
|
|
.PP
|
|
Only the super-user can raise the maximum limits.
|
|
Other users may only
|
|
alter \fIrlim_cur\fP within the range from 0 to \fIrlim_max\fP
|
|
or (irreversibly) lower \fIrlim_max\fP.
|
|
To remove a limit on a resource,
|
|
the value is set to RLIM_INFINITY.
