commit 4bdcc1963bc2b5ba5f8e319e402d9eb2cb6096c1 Author: Lukas Bulwahn Date: Mon Jul 29 11:08:17 2024 +0200 manual: make setrlimit() description less ambiguous The existing description for setrlimit() has some ambiguity. It could be understood to have the semantics of getrlimit(), i.e., the limits from the process are stored in the provided rlp pointer. Make the description more explicit that rlp are the input values, and that the limits of the process is changed with this function.
