-offset indent 58.Cd "options RACCT" 59.Cd "options RCTL" 60.Ed 61.Sh DESCRIPTION 62When called without options, the 63.Nm 64command writes currently defined RCTL rules to standard output. 65.Pp 66If a 67.Ar filter 68argument is specified, only rules matching the filter are displayed. 69The options are as follows: 70.Bl -tag -width indent 71.It Fl a Ar rule 72Add 73.Ar rule 74to the RCTL database. 75.It Fl l Ar filter 76Display rules applicable to the process defined by 77.Ar filter . 78Note that this is different from showing the rules when called without 79any options, as it shows not just the rules with subject equal to that 80of process, but also rules for the user, jail, and login class applicable 81to the process. 82.It Fl r Ar filter 83Remove rules matching 84.Ar filter 85from the RCTL database. 86.It Fl u Ar filter 87Display resource usage for a subject 88.Po 89.Sy process , 90.Sy user , 91.Sy loginclass 92or 93.Sy jail 94.Pc 95matching the 96.Ar filter . 97.It Fl h 98"Human-readable" output. 99Use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte, 100Gigabyte, Terabyte and Petabyte. 101.It Fl n 102Display user IDs numerically rather than converting them to a user name. 103.El 104.Pp 105Modifying rules affects all currently running and future processes matching 106the rule. 107.Sh RULE SYNTAX 108Syntax for a rule is subject:subject-id:resource:action=amount/per. 109.Pp 110.Bl -tag -width "subject-id" -compact -offset indent 111.It subject 112defines the kind of entity the rule applies to. 113It can be either 114.Sy process , 115.Sy user , 116.Sy loginclass , 117or 118.Sy jail . 119.It subject-id 120identifies the 121.Em subject . 122It can be a process ID, user name, numerical user ID, login class name from 123.Xr login.conf 5 , 124or jail name. 125.It resource 126identifies the resource the rule controls. 127See the 128.Sx RESOURCES 129section below for details. 130.It action 131defines what will happen when a process exceeds the allowed 132.Em amount . 133See the 134.Sx ACTIONS 135section below for details. 136.It amount 137defines how much of the resource a process can use before 138the defined 139.Em action 140triggers. 141Resources which limit bytes may use prefixes from 142.Xr expand_number 3 . 143.It per 144defines what entity the 145.Em amount 146gets accounted for. 147For example, rule "loginclass:users:vmem:deny=100M/process" means 148that each process of any user belonging to login class "users" may allocate 149up to 100MB of virtual memory. 150Rule "loginclass:users:vmem:deny=100M/user" would mean that for each 151user belonging to the login class "users", the sum of virtual memory allocated 152by all the processes of that user will not exceed 100MB. 153Rule "loginclass:users:vmem:deny=100M/loginclass" would mean that the sum of 154virtual memory allocated by all processes of all users belonging to that login 155class will not exceed 100MB. 156.El 157.Pp 158A valid rule has all those fields specified, except for 159.Em per , 160which defaults 161to the value of 162.Em subject . 163.Pp 164A filter is a rule for which one of more fields other than 165.Em per 166is left empty. 167For example, a filter that matches every rule could be written as ":::=/", 168or, in short, ":". 169A filter that matches all the login classes would be "loginclass:". 170A filter that matches all defined rules for 171.Sy maxproc 172resource would be 173"::maxproc". 174.Sh SUBJECTS 175.Bl -column -offset 3n "pseudoterminals" ".Sy username or numerical User ID" 176.It Em subject Ta Em subject-id 177.It Sy process Ta
