[Linux] Memory usage

[ganetmarv]

Hi all,

I would like to know how many memory a program is using, during the
execution and on Linux.
After some readings, during the execution, I have to open
\proc\self\status and read the informations but I do not know which
line in the file represents the memory usage of the current program.
Do you have any idea ?

Thanks.

I would like to know how many memory a program is using, during the
execution and on Linux.

Then post to one of comp.os.linux.development.apps, they should know
a way to determine that. C++ _language_ and library have no means for
the programmer to find out the memory footprint. It's OS-specific.
