9 trace-cmd mem [OPTIONS][input-file]
10
12 The trace-cmd(1) mem requires a trace-cmd record that enabled the
13 following events:
14 kmalloc
16 kmalloc_node
17 kfree
18 kmem_cache_alloc
19 kmem_cache_alloc_node
20 kmem_cache_alloc_free
21 It then reads the amount requested and the ammount freed as well as the
23 functions that called the allocation. It then reports the final amount
24 of bytes requested and allocated, along with the total amount allocated
25 and requested, as well as the max allocation and requested during the
26 run. It reports the amount of wasted bytes (allocated - requested) that
27 was not freed, as well as the max wasted amount during the run. The
28 list is sorted by descending order of wasted bytes after the run.

49 By default, trace-cmd hist will read the file trace.dat. But the -i
50 option open up the given input-file instead. Note, the input file
51 may also be specified as the last item on the command line.
