although this is a general question it came up in a pf context so let me
pick your collective brains.

is there a system/library call to tell how much memory your process is
using? evidently i have a memory leak i a pf program. a small leak
(if there is such a thing) that took a long time to cause problems
since there's a lot of memory in the system in was developed on.

i found that i could artificially make it worse by changing some array
sizes. if fact this is how it was detected. i used gr_osview to see the
memory get gobbled. what i want to be able to do is what gr_osview does
under the covers: get a memory usage number. this way the memory usage
could be monitored without a tool like gr_osview.

thanks,
