The maximum number of simultaneous processes for this user id.

The maximum number of pseudo-terminals this user id is allowed to create.
+.It Dv RLIMIT_PIPEBUF
+The maximum total size of in-kernel buffers for bi-directional pipes/fifos

+The buffers for kernel FIFOs created on the first open of a filesystem
+object created by

.It Dv RLIMIT_RSS
When there is memory pressure and swap is available, prioritize eviction of
a process' resident pages beyond this amount (in bytes).
