malloc_stats - print memory allocation statistics

  #include <malloc.h>

  void malloc_stats(void);

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 allocations. (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).

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see *attributes*(7).

This function is a GNU extension.

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