Description
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).
History
