Thanks, that's very helpful. BTW, is there a way to adjust the<br>parameters in a per-program manner?</blockquote></span><div><br>kern.* sysctl's are machine-wide, so they affects how the FreeBSD kernel Virtual Memory model reacts.
<br>For a single process, it is of course the usual getrlimit(2)/setrlimit(2) calls that is the only pathway. It is usually<br>set by a call to limit (for csh/tcsh style shells) or ulimit (for sh/bash/zsh style shells). It is possible to impose specific limits on a single account via /etc/login.conf (manpage is
login.conf(5) and there are a lot of examples in the /etc file).<br><br>Thus, in theory, we could have MLton manipulate the limits within the bounds set by the sysdmin/kernel via setrlimit(2), but I do not know of any other program manipulating these parameters directly.
