Add README
This is a basic README for psstop, there are incoming patches for adding extra functions and proper arguments like : help, version, verbose or some others common options in sw tools Signed-off-by: Victor Rodriguez <victor.rodriguez.bahena@intel.com>

# PSSTOP
|
||||
|
||||
The main purpose of a computer system is to execute programs. These programs,
|
||||
together with the data they access, must be at least partially in main memory
|
||||
during execution. As a developer and user are necessary to know the amount of
|
||||
memory consumed by every process in execution. PSSTOP helps to get this
|
||||
information in an accurate way.
|
||||
|
||||
PSSTOP gets the memory of each process from:
|
||||
|
||||
/proc/PID/smaps
|
||||
|
||||
The /proc/PID/smaps is an extension based on maps, showing the memory
|
||||
consumption for each of the process's mappings. For each of mappings there
|
||||
is a series of lines such as the following:
|
||||
|
||||
Size: 1084 kB
|
||||
Rss: 892 kB
|
||||
Pss: 374 kB
|
||||
Shared_Clean: 892 kB
|
||||
Shared_Dirty: 0 kB
|
||||
Private_Clean: 0 kB
|
||||
Private_Dirty: 0 kB
|
||||
Referenced: 892 kB
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB
|
||||
Shared_Hugetlb: 0 kB
|
||||
Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB
|
||||
Swap: 0 kB
|
||||
SwapPss: 0 kB
|
||||
KernelPageSize: 4 kB
|
||||
MMUPageSize: 4 kB
|
||||
Locked: 0 kB
|
||||
|
||||
PPSTOP tracks the amount of memory from the process' proportional share of this
|
||||
mapping (Pss) and the proportional swap share of the mapping (SwapPss).
|
||||
|
||||
Others tools like ps doesn't give an acurate detail of which processes are
|
||||
consuming the memory of our system . Depending on how you look at it, ps is not
|
||||
reporting the real memory usage of processes. What it is really doing is
|
||||
showing how much real memory each process would take up if it were the only
|
||||
process running.
