maxfiles
maxfiles sets the soft limit for the number of files a
process is allowed to have open simultaneously.

Specify integer value. For more information, see Specifying Parameter Values.
maxfiles specifies the system default soft limit for the
number of files a process is allowed to have open at any given time. It
is possible for a process to increase its soft limit and therefore open
more than maxfiles files.
Non-superuser processes can increase their soft limit until they reach
the hard limit (
maxfiles_lim).
To be useful, the value assigned to maxfiles must be less
than the value of
maxfiles_lim. maxfiles_lim is useful only
if it does not exceed the limits imposed by nfile and ninode.
