Sure. Here's what TFOH (TF online help) has to say:
wollman@sadye(96)$ help ulimit
ulimit: ulimit [-SHacdmstfpn [limit]]
Ulimit provides control over the resources available to processes
started by the shell, on systems that allow such control. If an
option is given, it is interpreted as follows:
-S use the `soft' resource limit
-H use the `hard' resource limit
-a all current limits are reported
-c the maximum size of core files created
-d the maximum size of a process's data segment
-m the maximum resident set size
-s the maximum stack size
-t the maximum amount of cpu time in seconds
-f the maximum size of files created by the shell
-p the pipe buffer size
-n the maximum number of open file descriptors
If LIMIT is given, it is the new value of the specified resource.
Otherwise, the current value of the specified resource is printed.
If no option is given, then -f is assumed. Values are in 1k
increments, except for -t, which is in seconds, and -p, which is in
increments of 512 bytes.
