Hi,
First of all I appreciate this group very much for its informative discussions and posts.
Here is my question.
I have one process whose virtual memory size increases linearly from 6MB to 12MB in 20 minutes. Does that mean my process has memory leaks?
In what cases does the... (4 Replies)
Today, I wrote a test code for fork/execvp/waitpid. In the parent process, it fork 100 child processes which only execute "date" to print the current datetime. When any child process die, the parent process will receive a SIGCHLD signal. Then, the parent process will re-fork-execvp the child... (7 Replies)

Hi.
This might be a strange request, but does anyone have any idea on a simple shell script that would use more and more memory as it ran? Like a purposeful leak.
I want to test the behaviour of an already running program when the machine runs out of memory.
Thanks! (4 Replies)
Hi All,
my client server application can work in two modes:
1) one direction - only client sends msgs to server
2) two directions - server gives 'answers' to client.
when program run in the first mode it looks OK, but when server answers to client than client's application exit its... (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am trying a database server which keeps a B+ plus tree structure and works on it.
I am trying to find the memory used/leak while executing this process.
I check the memory leak by using ps uax command.
When i execute a delete query i am sure that my code frees up the existing... (9 Replies)
Hi all

Hi
We have just got a dedicated server with Fasthosts, O/S is Linux CentOS 6 64 bit.
It was a fresh install and I have just moved one WordPress site onto there.
The problem is we seem to be getting a memory leak (that's what Fasthosts said) and the database (I think) keeps crashing, so we... (3 Replies)

getdelim
GETLINE(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GETLINE(3)NAME
getline, getdelim - delimited string input
SYNOPSIS
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
ssize_t getline(char **lineptr, size_t *n, FILE *stream);
ssize_t getdelim(char **lineptr, size_t *n, int delim, FILE *stream);
DESCRIPTION
getline() reads an entire line, storing the address of the buffer containing the text into *lineptr. The buffer is null-terminated and
includes the newline character, if a newline delimiter was found.
If *lineptr is NULL, the getline() routine will allocate a buffer for containing the line, which must be freed by the user program. Alter-
natively, before calling getline(), *lineptr can contain a pointer to a malloc()-allocated buffer *n bytes in size. If the buffer is not
large enough to hold the line read in, getline() resizes the buffer to fit with realloc(), updating *lineptr and *n as necessary. In either
case, on a successful call, *lineptr and *n will be updated to reflect the buffer address and size respectively.
getdelim() works like getline(), except a line delimiter other than newline can be specified as the delimiter argument. As with getline(),
a delimiter character is not added if one was not present in the input before end of file was reached.
RETURN VALUE
On success, getline() and getdelim() return the number of characters read, including the delimiter character, but not including the termi-
nating null character. This value can be used to handle embedded null characters in the line read.
Both functions return -1 on failure to read a line (including end of file condition).
ERRORS
EINVAL Bad parameters (n or lineptr is NULL, or stream is not valid).
EXAMPLE
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
FILE * fp;
char * line = NULL;
size_t len = 0;
ssize_t read;
fp = fopen("/etc/motd", "r");
if (fp == NULL)
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
while ((read = getline(&line, &len, fp)) != -1) {
printf("Retrieved line of length %zu :
", read);
printf("%s", line);
}
if (line)
free(line);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
CONFORMING TO
Both getline() and getdelim() are GNU extensions. They are available since libc 4.6.27.
