SYNOPSIS
gmemusage [ options ]DESCRIPTION
Gmemusage is modelled after the program of the same name on Silicon Graphics' workstations. Gmemusage graphically displays the contents of memory on a running system, broken up by individual processes. The display is a stacked bar graph with the height of an area representing the RSS size of the corresponding process. In addition, the process name, number of processes with that name and the size (in kilobytes) are shown.Processes which take up less memory than a (user-specifiable) threshhold are merged into a single area on the graph. Multiple processes with the same name are merged into a single area.
While running, gmemusage accepts the following keys:
- Q or q
- Exit the program.
- Up Arrow
- Increase the minimum threshhold by 10 kb.
- Down Arrow
- Decrease the minimum threshhold by 10 kb.
- Other keys are (not-so-silently!) ignored.
