NAME

6       ps_mem - Memory profiling tool
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ps_mem [-h|--help] [-s|--show-cmdline] [-p PID] [-w N]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The ps_mem tool can determine how much RAM is used per program (not per
13       process).
14
15       In detail it reports:
16
17              sum(private RAM for program processes) + sum(Shared RAM for pro‐
18              gram processes).
19
20       The  shared RAM is problematic to calculate, and the tool automatically
21       selects the most accurate method available for the running kernel.
22

OPTIONS

24       -h --help
25              Show help message
26
27       -s --show-cmdline
28              Show complete program path with options
29
30       -p PID Show memory consumption of process with specified PID
31
32       -w N   Report memory consumption every N seconds
