How to bump ulimit?

[Jacek Nykis]

Hi,

Would you mind pasting exact command that worked for you from inside a snap?

In my case ulimit works just fine outside of confinement. For example:
jacek at laptop:~$ ulimit -n 10240
jacek at laptop:~$ ulimit -n
10240

But when I try the same when confined I can only go as high as 4096.
