In the pdf version page 30 refers to the constant Process::RLIMIT_INFINITY which represents one’s systems infinity constant. The text suggests comparing that constant with the ‘hard limit’ shown as the 2nd element in the array produced when ‘p Process.getrlimit(:NOFILE)’ is typed within irb. I get the array within irb but can’t figure out how to access Process::<a href="mailto:RLIMIT_INFINITY”>RLIMIT_INFINITY@.

I’ve tried Process::RLIMIT_INFINIT at the command line and p Process::RLIMIT_INFINITY within irb but both produce errors. Just searched on google to no avail. Any thoughts on how to access unix constants on my mac osx system?

Whoops. That’s a typo in the book. It should be `Process::RLIM_INFINITY`. Does that one work for you?

I’ll make an update to the book.
