raiseFileDescriptorLimit

Raise the open file descriptor limit.

On some systems, this raises the limit before seeing ProcessFdQuotaExceeded errors. On other systems, this does nothing.

Functions

#
getCwd
The result is a slice of `out_buffer`, from index `0`.
getCwdAlloc
Caller must free the returned memory.
getEnvMap
Returns a snapshot of the environment variables of the current process.
getEnvVarOwned
Caller must free returned memory.
hasEnvVarConstant
On Windows, `key` must be valid WTF-8.
hasNonEmptyEnvVarConstant
On Windows, `key` must be valid WTF-8.
parseEnvVarInt
Parses an environment variable as an integer.
hasEnvVar
On Windows, if `key` is not valid [WTF-8](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/),
hasNonEmptyEnvVar
On Windows, if `key` is not valid [WTF-8](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/),
getenvW
Windows-only.
ArgIteratorGeneral
A general Iterator to parse a string into a set of arguments
args
Holds the command-line arguments, with the program name as the first entry.
argsWithAllocator
You must deinitialize iterator's internal buffers by calling `deinit` when done.
argsAlloc
Caller must call argsFree on result.
getUserInfo
POSIX function which gets a uid from username.
posixGetUserInfo
TODO this reads /etc/passwd.
execv
Replaces the current process image with the executed process.
execve
Replaces the current process image with the executed process.
totalSystemMemory
Returns the total system memory, in bytes as a u64.
cleanExit
Indicate that we are now terminating with a successful exit code.
raiseFileDescriptorLimit
Raise the open file descriptor limit.
createEnvironFromMap
Creates a null-delimited environment variable block in the format
createEnvironFromExisting
Creates a null-delimited environment variable block in the format
createWindowsEnvBlock
Caller must free result.
fatal
Logs an error and then terminates the process with exit code 1.
