[oi-dev] RLIMIT_NPROC equivalent in illumos

[Aurélien Larcher]

Hi,
I am updating OpenBLAS, a multithread linear algebra package and the
compilation fails due to the lack of RLIMIT_NPROC defined in Linux adn BSD
in resource.h

It is defined in the setrlimit manpage as:
*RLIMIT_NPROC* The maximum number of processes (or, more precisely on
Linux, threads) that can be created for the real user ID of the calling
process. Upon encountering this limit, *fork*(2) fails with the error
*EAGAIN*and the pair (soft limit, hard limit) can be returned (resp.
changed) with getrlimit (resp. setrlimit).

What would an the illumos equivalent or a way to emulate it ?
At least being able to get the bounds would be sufficient for now.
Thank you

Aurelien
