SYNOPSIS: Maximum number of open files
DATE APPROVED: 6/24/02
DOCUMENT ID: 01406
SYNOPSIS: Maximum number of open files
OS: Solaris[tm] Operating Environment (OE)
PLATFORM: All
OS VERSION: Solaris 5.x OE
TECH AREA: OS
PRODUCT: Kernel
KEYWORDS: open(2), fopen(3C), cc, rlim_fd_cur, rlim_fd_max, Sys calls
The following TechNotes may contain actual software programs in source code form. This source code is made available for developers to use as needed, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this license.
DESCRIPTION:
The maximum number of open files a process can have is limited by various factors. Many parameters can be adjusted. Also, the Solaris 9 OE greatly increases the absolute maximum number of files.
SOLUTION:
Most programs do not work near the limits of open files but when a limit is reached, it can be a confusing situation. The most common applications with large numbers of open files are network servers which are connected to large numbers of clients at the same time. This TechNote should help developers understand file limits and how to adjust them properly.
There are system limits on the number of files a process can keep open at any given time. The limit varies by user environment settings, the release of the Solaris OE in use, and the current kernel configuration. The kernel variable rlim_fd_max is an absolute limit which is set in the kernel. The kernel variable rlim_fd_cur sets the default process soft limit. The shell inherits the default limits which can be retrieved and modified by the ulimit command. The remainder of this TechNote examines the different limitations and how to adjust them.
open() and fopen() limitations
There are a number of ways for a programmer to open files from C code. Two of the common methods are the system call open(2) and the stdio library call fopen(3C). Each of these calls is limited to the number of opens they can perform, but fopen(3C) has a harsh stdio library limit.
Both open(2) and fopen(3C) use file descriptors which are taken from the total number of file descriptors allowed by the environment. If a program uses open(2) exclusively, then the program will be able to open as many files as the current soft limit allows. The soft limit defines how many files a process can open. There are actually two environmental limits. The soft limit and the hard limit. The soft limit is the number of files a process can open by default. The hard limit is the maximum number of files a process can open if it increases the soft limit (example following).
