malloc_stats - print memory allocation statistics
Standard C library (libc
, -lc
)
#include <malloc.h>
void malloc_stats(void);
The malloc_stats() function prints (on standard
error) statistics about memory allocated by malloc(3)
and related functions. For each arena (allocation area), this function
prints the total amount of memory allocated and the total number of
bytes consumed by in-use allocations. (These two values correspond to
the arena
and uordblks
fields retrieved by
mallinfo(3).) In addition, the function prints the sum
of these two statistics for all arenas, and the maximum number of blocks
and bytes that were ever simultaneously allocated using
mmap(2).
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
