Hm, Documentation/CodingStyle suggests using descriptive names, so
something like getrlimit(...)/getrlimit_per_process(pid_t pid, ...)
would be more appropriate?

I thought getrlimit(...)/getprlimit(pid_t pid, ...) would be a good
choice as getgid(void)/getpgid(pid_t pid) already exists in Linux which
have the same naming scheme.

Or would something like
getrlimit/getrlimitpid (like wait(void)/waitpid(pid)) or
getrlimit/getrlimit2 (like getpgrp(void)/getpgrp2(pid) in HP-UX)
be preferred?

What would you suggest?

Thanks,
Wieland
