FUNCTION::PROC_MEM_S(3stap)

💖 FUNCTION::PROC_MEM_S 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Memory Tapset, section 3stap of the SystemTap Tapset Reference ✨ this is the manual page for function::proc_mem_shr, aka the little probe helper that tells you how many shared pages (from shared mappings) a process is rocking. no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

function::proc_mem_shr — Program shared pages (from shared mappings) 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

1) proc_mem_shr:long()

2) proc_mem_shr:long(pid:long)

two flavors, both iconic 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pid — the pid of the process you wanna examine 👀

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

1) returns the shared pages (from shared mappings) of the current process 🫶 and it hands you zero when there's no current process, or when the number of pages just couldn't be retrieved. tragic but honest 😭

2) returns the shared pages (from shared mappings) of the given process — the one you passed as pid — and again, zero when the process doesn't exist, or when the number of pages couldn't be retrieved 🙈

both forms return long, both can give you zero, and neither one is out here guessing. periodt. 👑
