According to the help docs:
$ run-help limit
limit [ -h ] [ resource [ limit ] ] ...
limit -s
Limit the resource consumption of the current shell
and its children. If limit is not specified, print
the current limit placed on resource; otherwise set
the limit to the specified value. If the -h flag
is given, use hard limits instead of soft limits.
If no resource is given, print all limits.
resource is one of:
[elided]
vmemorysize
Maximum amount of virtual memory.
but, according to our sysadmin (who may or may not be in error --
see attached) the value reported for virtual memory by limit is
incorrect. He insists there is no such limit on this system:
$ uname -a
SunOS revelle 5.3 Generic_101318-70 sun4m sparc
Anyone have the definitive scoop on this for Solaris? Is the value
reported by limit correct?

The memory limit set is for mapped memory (RSS) not virtual. In any case,
this limit is only enforced when the system low on real memory. Ie. if
other processes don't need it, there is no reason that a particular
process can't grab all of the real memory.
