On linux a limit can be imposed on the number of open file descriptors a user can have. You can see the current limit by running the ulimit command:

Code Block

data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority             (-e) 0
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals                 (-i) 3889
