NAME
       gmemusage - graphically display memory used by running processes.

SYNOPSIS
       gmemusage [ options ]

DESCRIPTION
       Gmemusage is modelled after the program of the same name on Silicon Graphics' workstations.  Gmemusage graphically displays the contents of
       memory on a running system, broken up by individual processes. The display is a stacked bar graph with the height of an	area  representing
       the  RSS  size  of the corresponding process. In addition, the process name, number of processes with that name and the size (in kilobytes)
       are shown.

       Processes which take up less memory than a (user-specifiable) threshhold are merged into a single area on  the  graph.  Multiple  processes
       with the same name are merged into a single area.

       While running, gmemusage accepts the following keys:

       Q or q
	    Exit the program.

       Up Arrow
	    Increase the minimum threshhold by 10 kb.

       Down Arrow
	    Decrease the minimum threshhold by 10 kb.

       Other keys are (not-so-silently!) ignored.
