Advanced #Programming in the #UNIX Environment

Week 2, File Descriptors

What is a file descriptor? We run through a code example to determine the maximum number of file descriptors a process can have open. Sounds simple enough, right? In the process, we look at compile-time defined constants, system-wide configuration parameters, look at the source for getconf(1), hit on rlimits, and confirm experimentally what the actual value is on #NetBSD, #Linux, and #macOS
