Indeed; it's supported as part of ulimit -a only, and I've covered that
with my patch for #975326.

I've appended the dash@ thread with a documentation fix for ulimit -w
(and the synopsis), archived at forwarded-to.
Those are the only mis-match problems with ulimit, AFAICT at least.

For -r, it should probably be supported. See

Bug#975325: dash(1) man page: ulimit documentation is inconsistent and out-of-date

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: dash
Version: 0.5.11+git20200708+dd9ef66-2
Severity: normal

In the ulimit documentation from the dash(1) man page:

 ulimit [-H | -S] [-a | -tfdscmlpnv [value]]
[...]
-r  show or set the limit on the real-time scheduling
priority of a process

The -r option is not listed in the synopsis, but described anyway.
However, it is not supported:

$ ulimit -r
sh: 17: ulimit: Illegal option -r

Moreover, the -w option is supported:

$ ulimit -w
unlimited

but neither given in the synopsis, nor described.
