@davisp python has a way to check file descriptor limits, I am not sure
erlang has it:
```
In [9]: resource.getrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_NOFILE)
Out[9]: (65536, 65536)
In [10]:
```
But could do a sys command perhaps
```
os:cmd("ulimit -Hn").
"65536\n"
```
It would be interesting to be able to detect it and then make it a bit less
to allow for sockets. Or at least if set too low to warn user with a log
message or some similar thing.
