I'd like to try and increase the limit of open files without 
resorting to Windows API, is it possible or will I have to resort 
to the WinAPI to achieve this?

Thanks

Phobos doesn't have anything like that (and if it did, it would just be a
cross-platform wrapper which used the Windows API on Windows whatever the
equivalent would be on other platforms - assuming that there even is an
equivalent on other platforms). So, unless there's a library on
code.dlang.org which has such a wrapper, you'll need to use the Windows API
directly. But it's not like that would be hard. All you'd need to do would
be to declare the appropriate function declaration (which would probably be
extern(Windows) in this case) and make sure that you're linked against the
appropriate library. Given that the header is stdio.h, that would presumably
be Microsoft's C runtime library, which probably means that you'd need to
tell dmd to use Microsoft's C runtime and not dmc's C runtime.
