This library is provided if the clib package is compiled on a glibc
based system, typically Linux. It provides access to the glibc ptmalloc
informational functions for diagnosing memory usage. This library
exports
mallinfo(-Info:dict) is det- Return the content of the
struct mallinfo returned by
mallinfo() as a dict. See man mallinfo for an
explanation of the fields.
- bug
- - The
struct mallinfo contains int fields and is thus
incapable of expressing the memory sizes of 64-bit
machines. The fields are interpreted as unsigned and
thus represent the true value modulo 2**32 (4Gb).
- malloc_info(-Info:dict) is det
- Interface to
malloc_info(), which provides an XML document
describing the status of the GNU glibc malloc implementation.
The XML document is parsed and translated into a dict with a
similar structure. The malloc_info() XML is supposed to be
self-explanatory.
