Most people using/running Linux know the command called ‘ps’ which shows you which processes are running and how much memory a proces uses. But there is more to learn about memory management in Linux. There is a nice article here which explains how Linux uses it’s memory. A command called pmap allows you to see which memory addresses a PID uses, how much it is using and also what library a program is using. Run it like pmap -d nnn, where nnn is your PID. |
