this header file is used by almost all system/programs....
whatever you'r trying to achieve is not understandable....
You need to compile the whole source of your application where you think this file is being used...

sorry for the error in mentioning the file name . File is "etc/security/limits.conf" not "limits.h".

I just read the man page for limits.conf it says...
"all limit settings are set PER LOGIN. They are not global, nor are they permanent"

may be this will help you to proceed

Thanks for the answer

Just a hint: Reading the man pages as ashitpro did here can often solve such problems. Just type

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

man limits.conf

or whatever command / program / file you want to find out about and quite often, you will see a manual included by the author(s) of this specific command / program / file.
