Ulimit options. Sets the ulimits values inside of the container.
--ulimit with a soft and hard limit in the format <type>=<soft limit>[:<hard limit>]. For example:
$ podman run --ulimit nofile=1024:1024 --rm ubi9 ulimit -n
1024
Set -1 for the soft or hard limit to set the limit to the maximum limit of the current
process. In rootful mode this is often unlimited.
Use **host** to copy the current configuration from the host.
Don't use nproc with the ulimit flag as Linux uses nproc to set the
maximum number of processes available to a user, not to a container.
Use the --pids-limit option to modify the cgroup control to limit the number
of processes within a container.
