Crate limits_rs

Utilities for determining the limits that an operating system enforces on a given particular process.

In its current implementation, this crate allows convenient read of the /proc/<pid>/limits file on GNU/Linux. On any other platform, the provided methods will return an error so that the user can decide what to do in the absence of information about limits.

Support for other operating systems and platforms may be added on demand.
