Current and Peak Memory consumption of my program?

Hi,

my C++ program does some memory consuming tasks and runs several minutes.
During execution time, I want to print information on the current memory consumption and peak memory consumption of my program into a logfile.
How can I retrieve this information, i.e. which functions are available to get memory and peak memory of my program?
I don't want to call any commands like "ps" etc. via system(), but would like to use functions supported by AIX and implement them in my C++ coding.

Thanks!

NAME
powertop - a power consumption and power management diagnosis tool. SYNOPSIS
powertop [ options ] DESCRIPTION
powertop is a program that helps to diagnose various issues with power consumption and power management. It also has an interactive mode allowing one to experiment with various power management settings. When invoking powertop without arguments powertop starts in interactive mode. OPTIONS
--csv[=FILENAME] generate a CSV report. If a filename is not specified then the default name "powertop.csv" is used. The CSV report can be used for reporting and data analysis. --calibrate runs powertop in calibration mode. When running on battery, powertop can track power consumption as well as system activity. When there are enough measurements, powertop can start to report power estimates. One can get more accurate estimates by using this option to enable a calibration cycle. This will cycle through various display levesl and USB device activities and workloads. --debug run in "debug" mode. --extech=devnode use the Extech Power Analyzer for measurements. This allows one to specify the serial device node of the serial to USB adaptor con- necting to the Extech Power Analyzer, for example /dev/ttyUSB0. --help show the help message. --html[=FILENAME] generate an HTML report. If a filename is not specified then the default name "powertop.html" is used. The HTML report can be sent to others to help diagnose power issues. --iteration[=iterations] number of times to run each test. --time[=seconds] generate a report for a specified number of seconds. --version print version information and exit.
