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).
