NAME

ps_mem - Memory profiling tool

SYNOPSIS

ps_mem [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

Display the core memory used per program (not per process)

In detail it reports:

sum (private RAM for program processes) +
sum (shared RAM for program processes)

The shared RAM is problematic to calculate, and the tool automatically selects the most accurate method available for the running kernel.

OPTIONS

-h --help
Show help message
--version
Show version info
-p PID[,PID2,...PIDN]
Show memory consumption for the specified processes
-S --swap
Show swap information of each item (and Shared swap if the kernel supports SwapPss).
-d --discriminate-by-pid
Show and separate memory usage entries by process rather than by program.
-s --split-args
Show and separate memory usage entries by command line arguments and not just the program name.
-t --total
Only display the total number of bytes for the selected processes
-w N
