MAX limit of file descriptor

[Peter Teoh]

i can only make a general statement, may not be always true/false:

in the kernel almost EVERYTHING HAS TO BE FINITE....and this is cater for
the fact that

but at the userspace or application level, u can design structures to be
infinite.   eg, I used python for large number calculation, and so far it
has not limits, but I am sure at the representation level, there is
one....but because i don't know the datastructure used, i don't know the
limits.
