Hi,
I'm trying to find private and shared memory usage of each process in Linux.
One answer on Stack Overflow suggested using 'smem' utility (it reads
/proc/<pid>/smap). However, the sum of all PSS values in 'smem' output is not
equal to Used value of the 'free' utility (it reads /proc/meminfo).
CLI output:
$ sudo smem -t | tail -n 5
2950301 1002 gfstandalone_1_0 --test hw/ 0 1427244 1435899 1453060
2950368 1002 gfstandalone_1_1 --test hw/ 0 1432172 1440818 1457588
3012185 rgore java -classpath /home/rgore 0 2159256 2159348 2163268
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
537 23 702168 24722224 26865451 62093364
$ free -w
total used free shared buffers
cache available
Mem: 65625036 26415500 511020 351372 1541640
37156876 38119868
Swap: 2097148 726148 1371000
So, I doubt the accuracy of the values in /proc/<pid>/smap. Is there a more
reliable alternative?
Regards,
Rahul
