Linux now imposes a floor on the ARG_MAX limit
|
||||
Starting with Linux 2.6.23, the ARG_MAX limit became
|
||||
settable via (1/4 of) RLIMIT_STACK. This broke ABI
|
||||
compatibility if RLIMIT_STACK was set such that ARG_MAX
|
||||
was < 32 pages. Document the fact that since 2.6.25
|
||||
Linux imposes a floor on ARG_MAX, so that the old limit
|
||||
of 32 pages is guaranteed.
