for units, they are not applied to the service manager process (i.e. PID 1) itself.</para>
<para>Most of these settings are unset, which means the resource limits are inherited from the kernel or, if
invoked in a container, from the container manager. However, the following have defaults:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><varname>DefaultLimitNOFILE=</varname> defaults to <literal>1024:&HIGH_RLIMIT_NOFILE;</literal>.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><varname>DefaultLimitCORE=</varname> does not have a default but it is worth mentioning that
<varname>RLIMIT_CORE</varname> is set to <literal>infinity</literal> by PID 1 which is inherited by its
children.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Note that the service manager internally increases <varname>RLIMIT_MEMLOCK</varname> for
itself, however the limit is reverted to the original value for child processes forked off.</para></listitem>
