To |change what is commonly considered ULIMIT, you need to change |the entries SFSZLIM (for soft limit) and HFSZLIM (for hard limit). |They are close to the bottom of the mtune file, along with some |comments (!!) that describe what they are. These limits are in |bytes, rather than blocks, and a value of 0 is no longer used |to mean unlimited.

For |a quick peek at the new features, to a "ulimit -A" to ksh. |Unfortunately, the values are printed in blocks for compatibility, |so be prepared for some confusion.
