NAME
     malloc_stats - print memory allocation statistics

LIBRARY
     Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <malloc.h>

     void malloc_stats(void);

DESCRIPTION
     The  malloc_stats()  function  prints  (on standard error) statistics about
     memory allocated by malloc(3) and related functions.  For each arena (allo-
     cation area), this function prints the total amount of memory allocated and
     the total number of bytes consumed by in-use allocations.	(These two  val-
     ues  correspond to the arena and uordblks fields retrieved by mallinfo(3).)
     In addition, the function prints the sum of these two  statistics	for  all
     arenas,  and the maximum number of blocks and bytes that were ever simulta-
     neously allocated using mmap(2).
