Number of descriptors per process?
- Thread starter Rynth
- Start date
The number of file descriptors per process is determined by the operating system parameter open_max. The default value of open_max is 32767.
To obtain the current value of the open_max parameter, use the Korn or Bourne shell ulimit command:
ulimit -n
