56*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Nm
57*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralacommand writes currently defined RCTL rules to standard output.
58*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp

60*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Ar filter
61*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralaargument is specified, only rules matching the filter are displayed.
62*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaThe options are as follows:

77*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralaor jail) matching the

79*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.It Fl h
80*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala"Human-readable" output.
81*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaUse unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte,
82*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaGigabyte, Terabyte and Petabyte.
83*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.It Fl n
84*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaDisplay user IDs numerically rather than converting them to a user name.
85*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
86*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Sh RULE SYNTAX
87*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaSyntax for a rule is subject:subject-id:resource:action=amount/per.
88*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
89*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaSubject defines the kind of entity the rule applies to.
90*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaIt can be either process, user, login class, or jail.
91*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
92*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaSubject ID identifies the subject.  It can be user name,
93*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralanumerical user ID, login class name, jail name, or numerical jail ID.
94*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
95*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaResource identifies the resource the rule controls.
96*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
97*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaAction defines what will happen when a process exceeds the allowed amount.
98*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
99*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaAmount defines how much of the resource a process can use before
100*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralathe defined action triggers.
101*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
102*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaThe per field defines what entity the amount gets accounted for.
103*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaFor example, rule "loginclass:users:vmem:deny=100M/process" means
104*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralathat each process of any user belonging to login class "users" may allocate
105*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralaup to 100MB of virtual memory.
106*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaRule "loginclass:users:vmem:deny=100M/user" would mean that for each
107*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralauser belonging to the login class "users", the sum of virtual memory allocated
108*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralaby all the processes of a that user will not exceed 100MB.
109*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaRule "loginclass:users:vmem:deny=100M/loginclass" would mean that the sum of
110*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralavirtual memory allocated by all processes of all users belonging to that login
111*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralaclass will not exceed 100MB.
112*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
113*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaValid rule has all those fields specified, except for the per, which defaults
114*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralato the value of subject.
115*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
116*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaA filter is a rule for which one of more fields other than per is left empty.
117*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaFor example, a filter that matches every rule could be written as ":::=/",
118*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralaor, in short, ":".
119*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaA filter that matches all the login classes would be "loginclass:".
120*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaA filter that matches all defined rules for nproc resource would be
121*6ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala"::nproc".
