NAME

       memprobe - ROOT utility to examine memory usage

SYNOPSIS

       memprobe [options]

DESCRIPTION

       To  activate  the  memory  checker  you  have  to  set  in  the  .rootrc file the resource
       Root.MemCheck to 1 (e.g.: Root.MemCheck: 1) and you  have to link with libNew.so (e.g. use
       root-config --new --libs) or use rootn.exe.

       When  all  this  is  the  case  you  will  find at the end of the program execution a file
       memcheck.out in the directory where you started your ROOT program. Alternatively  you  can
       set  the  resource  Root.MemCheckFile  to the name of a file to which the leak information
       will be written. The contents of this memcheck.out file can be  analyzed  and  transformed
       into printable  text via the memprobe program (in /usr/bin).
