footprint(1) BSD General Commands Manual footprint(1)NAMEfootprint -- gathers memory information about a process or set of processes.SYNOPSISfootprint -h footprint -proc <process-name> | -pid <pid> [-proc <process-name> | -pid <pid> [...]] [-categories | -regions] [-swapped] [-graphics] [-collapseSharing] [-targetChildren] [-skipIdleExitClean] [-o <output-file-location>] [-i <input-file-location>]DESCRIPTIONfootprint provides a summary number and a categorization that describe memory use that most impacts the system. footprint gathers the sum of dirty/anonymous allocations in one or more processes along with their attributable kernel resources (currently KPRVT). Shared allocations only contribute to the footprint once, regardless of the number of times that they are mapped into any number of processes. The "footprint" value represents allocations that will cause the system to page in accommodation. footprint needs to be run as root. It can target multiple processes via multiple instances of the -proc and -pid flags.OPTIONS-categories Detailed output on a per-VM-region type level (medium detail). -regions Display all memory objects and associated regions that contribute to each category (high detail). -swapped Display swapped bytes information where applicable. -graphics Gather graphics data if available (platform dependent, not tallied into footprint total). -collapseSharing Do not group shared memory output by process. -targetChildren Gather footprint information for the set of processes launched directly or indirectly by the target processes. -skipIdleExitClean Do not gather information on any processes that are ready to be quit on memory pressure. Also applicable after the fact with -i option.OS XJune 28, 2012 OS X
