RAppArmor (version 1.0.0)

rlimit_fsize: Limit size of files

Description

The maximum size of files that the process may create.

Usage

rlimit_fsize(hardlim, softlim = hardlim, pid = 0,
    verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

hardlim

size

softlim

size

pid

id of the target process

verbose

print some C output (TRUE/FALSE)

Details

The maximum size of files that the process may create. Attempts to extend a file beyond this limit result in delivery of a SIGXFSZ signal. By default, this signal terminates a process, but a process can catch this signal instead, in which case the relevant system call (e.g., write(2), truncate(2)) fails with the error EFBIG.
