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
