From "man 7 tuning":
     The kern.maxfiles sysctl determines how many open files the system sup-
     ports.  The default is typically a few thousand but you may need to bump
     this up to ten or twenty thousand if you are running databases or large
     descriptor-heavy daemons.   The read-only kern.openfiles sysctl may be
     interrogated to determine the current number of open files on the system.
