Why does OpenBSD lack a man page for ulimit?

2013-12-01 Thread Jorge Castillo
I could expand about what caused my need for more memory, but I don't
think that would be relevant. I am just really curious about this
issue since everything else seems to be so well documented, this
certainly seem like a weird phenomenon on OpenBSD. When I need to do
something I can usually manage fine with just the man pages but I had
to use Google to know how to use ulimit.

ulimit is a shell built-in.  man ksh, then search the manual page.

That is also why you won't find a man page for eval, fg, jobs, let,
return, set ...

Ulimit is a ksh command.

Please try `man ksh`
