NAME

       heaptrack - heap memory profiler for linux, command line utility

SYNOPSIS

       heaptrack [--debug|-d] DEBUGGEE [ARGUMENT]...
       heaptrack [--debug|-d] -p PID

DESCRIPTION

       A  heap  memory  usage  profiler.  It  uses  LD_PRELOAD  to track all calls to the core memory allocation
       functions and logs these occurrances. Additionally, backtraces are obtained and  logged.   Combined  this
       can give interesting answers to questions such as:

              *  How  much heap memory is my application using?  * Where is heap memory being allocated, and how
              often?  * How much space are heap individual allocations requesting?

       To evaluate the generated heaptrack data, use heaptrack_print or heaptrack_gui.

   Mandatory arguments to heaptrack:
       DEBUGGEE
              The name or path to the application that should be run with heaptrack analyzation enabled.

   Alternatively, to attach to a running process:
       -p, --pid PID
              The process ID of a running process into which heaptrack will be injected. This  only  works  with
              applications that already link against libdl.

   Optional arguments to heaptrack:
       -d, --debug
              Run the debuggee in GDB and heaptrack.

       ARGUMENT
              Any number of arguments that will be passed verbatim to the debuggee.

       -h, --help
              Show this help message and exit.

       -v, --version
              Displays version information.

       The  full  documentation  for  heaptrack  is  maintained  as a Texinfo manual.  If the info and heaptrack
       programs are properly installed at your site, the command

              info heaptrack

       should give you access to the complete manual.
