ulimit is a shell built-in command (bash, ksh, sh).

Search your shell's manual page for "limit", e.g.:

% limit openfiles
openfiles       64
% limit -h openfiles
openfiles       1772
% sysctl proc.$$.rlimit.descriptors
proc.18190.rlimit.descriptors.soft = 64
proc.18190.rlimit.descriptors.hard = 1772

Of course, this doesn't help with your original problem ...
