There are two limits on the number of open files in a POSIX system, represented by two fdifferent errno values:
EMFILE -> process has too many files open ENFILE -> system has too many files open across all processes The limit for EMFILE may be obtained using sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) Is there a way to obtain the limit for ENFILE? Linux specific is OK, but a general solution would be nicer. This is for libexplain, in case you hadn't guessed.
