Checking the amount of memory use using Pmap

The pmap command reports the amount of memory that one or more processes are using. You can use this tool to determine which processes on the server are being allocated memory and whether this amount of memory is a cause of memory bottlenecks and it is also very useful for the administrators to find which of the libary / file is eating more memory on that pid.

# pmap <pid>

 To show in device format.

# pmap -d <pid>
