# [NAME](#NAME)

tapset::proc\_mem - systemtap proc\_mem tapset

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

Process memory query and utility functions provide information about  
the memory usage of the current application. These functions provide  
information about the full size, resident, shared, code and data used  
by the current process. And provide utility functions to query the  
page size of the current architecture and create human readable string  
representations of bytes and pages used.
