This would be an object orientated approach to modify the configuration of a PHP process.

This idea has been motivated by this bug of max opened files exhaustion. In this case the limit can be avoided. But for the witness package it won't be. The intention is for a single process to handle thousands of tasks, and potentially many http requests in each of them.

The native way to change the limit is via posix_setrlimit(\POSIX_RLIMIT_NOFILE, \POSIX_RLIMIT_INFINITY, \POSIX_RLIMIT_INFINITY);. This is not very expressive and required some time to find the function and the correct constants to use.

This package would translate to something like this:

\Innmind\Ini\Ini::of()
    ->disableMaxOpenedFilesLimit()
    ->apply();

// rest of the program here...
