Message184917
Both old and new have this sentence:
"Raises :exc:`ValueError` if an invalid resource is specified, if the new soft limit exceeds the hard limit, or if a process tries to raise its hard limit (unless the process has an effective UID of super-user)."
This strikes me as a bit awkward and ambiguous. As a naive reader that does not already know the facts, it is unclear whether the (unless...) applies to the overall sentence (Raise...) or just the last clause (if a process...). I would try moving the 'unless...' either before the whole sentence or before the clause, depending on which is true. |
