Units Support

Global flags that identify resource control types are defined for all resource controls. The flags are used by the system to communicate basic type information to applications such as the prctl command. Applications use the information to determine the following:

• The unit strings that are appropriate for each resource control

• The correct scale to use when interpreting scaled values

The following global flags are available:

Scaled values can be used with resource controls. The following example shows a scaled threshold value:

task.max-lwps=(priv,1K,deny)

Unit modifiers are accepted by the prctl, projadd, and projmod commands. You cannot use unit modifiers in the project database itself.
