MALLOC_STATS(3) 					     Linux Programmer's Manual						   MALLOC_STATS(3)

NAME
       malloc_stats - print memory allocation statistics

SYNOPSIS
       #include <malloc.h>

       void malloc_stats(void);

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 alloca-
       tions.	(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).

CONFORMING TO
       This function is a GNU extension.

NOTES
       More detailed information about memory allocations in the main arena can be obtained using mallinfo(3).
