Memory stats in a POSIX enviornment

[Richard Cranium]

Someone posted a nifty trick a while ago for estimating the amount of
memory currently in use in a running application. Can someone either
repost that or let me know their own thoughts on the subject?

Thanks.

Are you thinking of mallinfo(), provided in malloc.h by System V and
descendents?

My thoughts... You're asking in the wrong place. Neither memory
stats or POSIX are part of the C language, so they're off-topic here.

Try comp.unix.progr ammer, or a group for your specific *X flavor, such
as comp.os.linux.d evelopment.apps , if that's your preference.
