RLIMIT_NOFILE comes from System V release 4 and it is the
maximum number of open files per process. (BSD uses RLIMIT_OFILE.)
Linux has NR_OPEN defined in <linux/limits.h>, so you should be able
to use that in the place of RLIMIT_NOFILE.
By the way, a great book on general Unix programming that includes
the differences in the way POSIX, SVR4 and BSD does things is
"Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment" by W. Richard Stevens
(the author of Unix Network Programming). I would buy any book
that had his name on it. :)
