Process Status Without Shared Memory
Hello Folks,
On a Solaris 8 system I am trying to diagnosis memory usage of the running processes. I've been using prstat, and top , but the outputs of those include the shared memory used by the process. Hence, more a dozen of running processes are using the shared memory, and the total memory usage of these processes are very close to the size of the shared memory, which is kind of misleading.
Okay, here is my question... Is there a way to exclude the shared memory size used by the process, and showing the pure total memory usage of the process?
Many thanks in advance...

pmap gives a lot of info about memory usage for a process.

Shared memory for shared library

I am writing a shared library in Linux (but compatible with other UNIXes) and I want to allow multiple instances to share a piece of memory -- 1 byte is enough. What's the "best" way to do this? I want to optimize for speed and portability. Obviously, I'll have to worry about mutual exclusion. (0 Replies)
