💖 MEMORY-MALLOC-STATS 💖

okay bestie so this is a page from the Valkey Command Manual, section 3valkey, and it's all about the MEMORY MALLOC-STATS command 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

memory-malloc-stats — it hands you back the allocator's statistics. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

MEMORY MALLOC-STATS

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so MEMORY MALLOC-STATS literally gives you an internal statistics report straight from the memory allocator. like, the allocator is spilling its whole diary, no cap 📓✨

⚠️ big caveat bestie: this command is currently implemented only when using jemalloc as an allocator, and for every other allocator it just evaluates to a benign NOOP. translation: if you're not on jemalloc you get nothing and nobody is mad about it. it's giving "polite shrug" 🙈

💌 REPLY 💌

valkey-protocol(7) Bulk string reply: the memory allocator's internal statistics report. a whole string of allocator tea 🍵

👑 COMPLEXITY 👑

Depends on how much memory is allocated, could be slow 😭 like, the more memory you got, the more it's gonna make you wait. plan accordingly, fr fr
