PMAP(1)

💖 pmap(1) — the memory map bestie 💖

okay so this is the pmap page from the General Commands Manual, and it's literally just here to tell you what your processes are doing with their memory. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

pmap — report memory map of a process 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pmap [option ...] pid ...

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the pmap command reports the memory map of a process or processes. that's it, that's the whole vibe. you hand it some pids and it hands you back the receipts on their memory. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -x, --extended — show the extended format. more columns, more tea. ✨
• -d, --device — show the device format.
• -q, --quiet — do NOT display some header or footer lines. lowkey minimalism.
• -A, --range low[,high] — limit results to the given range, to the low and high address range. heads up bestie: the low and high arguments are one single string separated with a comma. high can be omitted. 🎀
• -X — show even more details than the -x option. > WARNING: the format changes according to /proc/PID/smaps 😭 so like, don't get attached to the layout.
• -XX — show everything the kernel provides. absolutely unhinged amounts of info, we love that for you. 💀
• -p, --show-path — show the full path to files in the mapping column.
• -k, --use-kernel-name — if available, use names provided by the kernel instead of "[ anon ]".
• -c, --read-rc — read the default configuration.
• -C, --read-rc-from file — read the configuration from file.
• -n, --create-rc — create new default configuration.
• -N, --create-rc-to file — create new configuration to file.

🌈 EXIT STATUS 🌈

• 0 — success. slay. ✨
