According to the Single Unix Specification:

     The getrlimit() and setrlimit() functions will fail if:
   [EINVAL]
          An  invalid  resource  was specified; or in a setrlimit() call,
          the new rlim_cur exceeds the new rlim_max.
   [EPERM]
          The  limit  specified  to  setrlimit()  would  have  raised the
          maximum  limit  value,  and  the  calling process does not have
          appropriate privileges.

     The setrlimit() function may fail if:
   [EINVAL]
          The  limit specified cannot be lowered because current usage is
          already higher than the limit.

So, EINVAL is the correct error to return if an unsupported resource is
specified.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
