Hi Kosaki-san,

I am sorry about lacking of explaination in my previous post.
I think setrlimit system call interface isn't useful.
Because it cannot set rlimit from other process.

To set rlimit from other processes is my original intention.
For I do not see a way to do it, please let me know if there were any exists.
