LONG_MAX
All the existing parameters are listed in the [[UBC parameters table]]. By importance, the parameters are divided into 3 groups: [[UBC primary parameters|primary parameters]],[[UBC secondary parameters|secondary parameters ]] and [[UBC auxiliary parameters|auxiliary parameters]].
More detailed description of the parameters and the resource control
mechanisms governed by the parameters is provided below. == Resource control parameters table == {| class="wikitable"! Name !!

== General information about all parameters ==
<li>The parameters control
how the resources are distributed between Virtual Environments containers in terms of* limits, i.e. upper boundaries on what this Virtual Environmentcontainer can consume, and* guarantees, i.e. mechanisms ensuring that this Virtual Environmentcontainer can get the assigned “resources” regardless of the activity and the amountof resources required by other Virtual Environmentscontainers.
The parameters containing “<code>guar</code>” in their names,
i.e. <code>vmguarpages</code> and <code>oomguarpages</code> are Virtual Environmentcontainer's
guarantees.
They guarantee availability of resources and certain service level
The <code>limit</code> of <code>vmguarpages</code> and <code>oomguarpages</code> should be
set to the maximal value ($2147483647$ on a 32-bit architecture)[[LONG_MAX]].
</li>
in memory pages (memory page is equal to 4 kilobytes on IA-32 hardware).
The remaining values (parameters ending with <code>size</code> and <code>buf</code>)
are measured in bytes. See more at [[UBC parameter units]].
