            Bug ID: 11791
           Summary: ulimit -H/-S flags are positional
           Product: Busybox
           Version: 1.30.x
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Standard Compliance
          Assignee: unassigned at busybox.net
          Reporter: thajeztah at gmail.com
                CC: busybox-cvs at busybox.net
  Target Milestone: ---

When specifying the `-S` / `-H` flag _after_ the `-a` flag, the flag is
ignored:

busybox sh -c 'ulimit -a -S | grep stack && ulimit -a -H | grep stack'
-s: stack size (kb)                8192
-s: stack size (kb)                8192

busybox sh -c 'ulimit -aS | grep stack && ulimit -aH | grep stack'
-s: stack size (kb)                8192
-s: stack size (kb)                8192


Changing the order to put the `-S` / `-H` _before_ `-a`, and the correct values
are shown;


busybox sh -c 'ulimit -S -a | grep stack && ulimit -H -a | grep stack'
-s: stack size (kb)                8192
-s: stack size (kb)                unlimited

busybox sh -c 'ulimit -Sa | grep stack && ulimit -Ha | grep stack'
-s: stack size (kb)                8192
-s: stack size (kb)                unlimited
