Hi Benjamin! About the magic constant. What about getdtablesize() < http://opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908775/xsh/getdtablesize.html> instead? ... but actually SUS advises to use the getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE) in new applications. Interesting. cu. On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 7:10 AM, Benjamin R. Haskell <[email protected]>wrote: > 'paludis' is a package manager for Gentoo Linux (and Exherbo).
