The following commands run in a single session shows lsof size greater than ulimit supported size. How is this possible?
$ lsof | wc -l
226863
$ ulimit -n
200000
$ ulimit -Hn
200000

Not really on-topic here, but the answer is simple. lsof lists all open files systemwide. ulimit shows the limit for one shell session.
