If you mean e.g. that the user-space/kernel-space splitting is token into
account, I doubt! Indeed RLIM_INFINITY could be returned. I'm not sure if
the meaning of RLIM_INFINITY is the same on all implementations.

For instance, on Linux, you can get RLIM_INFINITY, although the answer is
really 3G assuming a 3G-1G splitting. I don't know if that particular
getrlimit() implementation is conform to SUS, but I would think so.

Cheers,
Loic.
