Q: How can I set ulimit -n from a Golang program to restrict it within the program rather than globally?
A:
To set ulimit -n from a Golang program, you can use the following steps:
<code class="go">package main import ( "fmt" "syscall" ) func main() { var rLimit syscall.Rlimit err := syscall.Getrlimit(syscall.RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rLimit) if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error Getting Rlimit ", err) } fmt.Println(rLimit) rLimit.Max = 999999 rLimit.Cur = 999999 err = syscall.Setrlimit(syscall.RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rLimit) if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error Setting Rlimit ", err) } err = syscall.Getrlimit(syscall.RLIMIT_NOFILE, &rLimit) if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error Getting Rlimit ", err) } fmt.Println("Rlimit Final", rLimit) }</code>
Note: You may get an "invalid argument" error when setting the value. This is because you need to run the program with elevated privileges.
