556ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaWhen called without options, the
566ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Nm
576ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralacommand writes currently defined RCTL rules to standard output.
586ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
596ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaIf a

616ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralaargument is specified, only rules matching the filter are displayed.
626ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaThe options are as follows:

85b2e52cedSUlrich Spörlein.El
866ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Sh RULE SYNTAX
876ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaSyntax for a rule is subject:subject-id:resource:action=amount/per.
886ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
896ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaSubject defines the kind of entity the rule applies to.
906ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaIt can be either process, user, login class, or jail.
916ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
926ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaSubject ID identifies the subject.  It can be user name,
93a7ad07bfSEdward Tomasz Napieralanumerical user ID, login class name, or jail name.
946ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
956ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaResource identifies the resource the rule controls.
966ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
976ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaAction defines what will happen when a process exceeds the allowed amount.
986ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
996ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaAmount defines how much of the resource a process can use before
1006ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralathe defined action triggers.
1016ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
1026ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaThe per field defines what entity the amount gets accounted for.
1036ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaFor example, rule "loginclass:users:vmem:deny=100M/process" means
1046ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralathat each process of any user belonging to login class "users" may allocate
1056ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralaup to 100MB of virtual memory.
1066ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaRule "loginclass:users:vmem:deny=100M/user" would mean that for each
1076ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralauser belonging to the login class "users", the sum of virtual memory allocated
10820d3bac0SEdward Tomasz Napieralaby all the processes of that user will not exceed 100MB.
1096ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaRule "loginclass:users:vmem:deny=100M/loginclass" would mean that the sum of
1106ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralavirtual memory allocated by all processes of all users belonging to that login
1116ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralaclass will not exceed 100MB.
1126ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
1136ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaValid rule has all those fields specified, except for the per, which defaults
1146ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralato the value of subject.
1156ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala.Pp
1166ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaA filter is a rule for which one of more fields other than per is left empty.
1176ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaFor example, a filter that matches every rule could be written as ":::=/",
1186ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralaor, in short, ":".
1196ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaA filter that matches all the login classes would be "loginclass:".
1206ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaA filter that matches all defined rules for nproc resource would be
1216ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napierala"::nproc".
