Well, when you give a look at the csh(1) manpage, it tells you somwhere:
limit resource maximum-use
limit -h resource maximum-use
Limit the consumption by the current process and each pro-
cess it creates to not individually exceed maximum-use on
the specified resource. If no maximum-use is given, then
the current limit is printed; if no resource is given, then
all limitations are given. If the -h flag is given, the
hard limits are used instead of the current limits.
Maybe this could help if you tell me why you want to increase your number
of descriptors.
Have a nice day!
