NAME

6       ps_mem - Memory profiling tool
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ps_mem [OPTION]...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Display the core memory used per program (not per process)
13
14       In detail it reports:
15
16              sum (private RAM for program processes) +
17              sum (shared RAM for program processes)
18
19       The  shared RAM is problematic to calculate, and the tool automatically
20       selects the most accurate method available for the running kernel.

35
36       -d --discriminate-by-pid
37              Show and separate memory usage entries by process rather than by
