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).
