Documentation

Overview

Package fdlimit handles file descriptors based on the operating system.

In Klaytn, `levelDB` database in the `database` package is using this package to get current allowance of file descriptors for this process and to raise it as it requires. Because the maximum allowance is different between operating systems, it can be limited by the operating system on which Klaytn runs.
