+## Linux rlimits
+
+```
+ "rlimits": [
+ {
+ "type": "RLIMIT_NOPROC"
+ "soft": 1024,
+ "hard": 102400
+ }
+ ]
+```
+
+rlimits allow setting resource limits. The type is from one the values defined in [the man page](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/setrlimit.2.html). The kernel enforces the soft limit for a resource while the hard limit acts as a ceiling for that value that could be set by an unprivileged process.
