111c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.It subject
112c0a04e01SBryan Drewerydefines the kind of entity the rule applies to.
113c0a04e01SBryan DreweryIt can be either
114c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.Sy process ,
115c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.Sy user ,

118c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.Sy jail .
119c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.It subject-id
120c0a04e01SBryan Dreweryidentifies the
121c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.Em subject .
122c0a04e01SBryan DreweryIt can be a process ID, user name, numerical user ID, login class name from
123c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.Xr login.conf 5 ,
124aeb99b56SEdward Tomasz Napieralaor jail name.
125c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.It resource
126c0a04e01SBryan Dreweryidentifies the resource the rule controls.
127c0a04e01SBryan DrewerySee the
128c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.Sx RESOURCES
129c0a04e01SBryan Drewerysection below for details.
130c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.It action
131c0a04e01SBryan Drewerydefines what will happen when a process exceeds the allowed
132c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.Em amount .
133c0a04e01SBryan DrewerySee the
134c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.Sx ACTIONS
135c0a04e01SBryan Drewerysection below for details.
136c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.It amount
137c0a04e01SBryan Drewerydefines how much of the resource a process can use before
138c0a04e01SBryan Drewerythe defined
139c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.Em action

142c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.Xr expand_number 3 .
143c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.It per
144c0a04e01SBryan Drewerydefines what entity the
145c0a04e01SBryan Drewery.Em amount
146c0a04e01SBryan Drewerygets accounted for.
1476ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaFor example, rule "loginclass:users:vmem:deny=100M/process" means
1486ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralathat each process of any user belonging to login class "users" may allocate
1496ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralaup to 100MB of virtual memory.
1506ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaRule "loginclass:users:vmem:deny=100M/user" would mean that for each
1516ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralauser belonging to the login class "users", the sum of virtual memory allocated
15220d3bac0SEdward Tomasz Napieralaby all the processes of that user will not exceed 100MB.
1536ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaRule "loginclass:users:vmem:deny=100M/loginclass" would mean that the sum of
1546ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralavirtual memory allocated by all processes of all users belonging to that login
1556ec54a57SEdward Tomasz Napieralaclass will not exceed 100MB.

1696ec54a57SEdward Tomasz NapieralaA filter that matches all the login classes would be "loginclass:".
