What Can You Do to See the Flags and Options of the ulimit Linux Command?

Problem scenario
You want to see the flags and options of the ulimit Linux command. You try "man ulimit" and find very little information. What should you do?

Solution
Run this command:

ulimit -a

You will see a dash followed by a letter in rows alphabetically sorted according to the flag/option.

"ulimit -n" will show you the number of open files.
