  <title>Using memory maps</title>

  
<gui>Virtual memory</gui> is a representation of the combined

  <gui>physical memory</gui> and <link xref="mem-swap">swap space</link> in a

  system. It enables running processes to access more than the

  existing physical memory by <gui>mapping</gui> locations in physical memory

  to files on disk. When the system needs more pages of memory than are

  available, some of the existing pages will be paged out or written

  to the swap space.

  
The <gui>memory map</gui> displays the total virtual memory use of the

  process, and can be used to determine the memory cost of running a single or

  multiple instances of the program, to ensure the use of the correct shared

  libraries, to see the results of adjusting various performance tuning

  parameters the program may have, or to diagnose issues such as memory

  leaks.

  
To display the <link xref="memory-map-what">memory map</link> of a

  process:

  <steps>

    <item>
Click the <gui>Processes</gui> tab.
</item>

    <item>
Right click the desired process in the <gui>process list</gui>.
</item>

    <item>
Click <gui>Memory Maps</gui>.
</item>

  </steps>

  <title>Reading the memory map</title>

  <list>

Addresses are diplayed in hexadecimal (base 16).

    </item>

    <item>

      
Sizes are displayed in <link xref="units">IEC binary

      prefixes</link>.

At runtime the process can allocate more memory dynamically into an

      area called the heap, and store arguments and variables into

      another area called the stack.

    </item>

    <item>

      
The program itself and each of the shared libraries has three entries

      each, one for the read-execute text segment, one for the read-write data

      segment and one for a read-only data segment. Both data segments need to

      be paged out at swap time.

<title>Properties</title>

	  
Numele fișierului

	  
Locația bibliotecii comune care este folosită în prezent de proces. Dacă acest câmp este liber, informațiile despre memorie din acest rând descriu memoria care este deținută de procesul al cărui nume este afișat deasupra tabelului hartă de memorie.

	  
VM Start

	  
The address at which the memory segment begins. VM Start, VM End and

    VM Offset together specify the location on disk to which the shared library

    is mapped.

	  
VM Sfârșit

	  
Adresa la care segmentul de memorie se termină.

	  
VM Dimensiune

	  
Dimensiunea segmentului de memorie.

	  
Steaguri

	  
Următoarele opțiuni descriu modurile diferite ale accesului memoriei-segment pe care procesul le poate avea:

    <terms>

      <item>

        <title><gui>p</gui></title>

        
Segmentul de memorie este privat față de proces și nu este accesibil altor procese.

      </item>

      <item>

        <title><gui>r</gui></title>

        
Procesul are permisiunea de a citi din segmentul de memorie.

      </item>

      <item>

        <title><gui>s</gui></title>

        
Segmentul de memorie este partajat cu alte procese.

      </item>

      <item>

        <title><gui>w</gui></title>

        
Procesul are permisiunea de a scrie în segmentul de memorie.

      </item>

      <item>

        <title><gui>x</gui></title>

        
Procesul are permisiunea de a executa instrucțiunile care sunt conținute în segmentul de memorie.

      </item>

    </terms>

	  
VM Compensație

	  
The location of the address within the memory segment,

    measured from VM Start.

	  
Private, Shared, Clean, Dirty

  be written to swap since they can be re-loaded from their original location

  on disk. Data pages have read-write permissions, and if modified when in

  memory, they are labeled dirty, and when designated for swapping,

  must be paged out.

-->

          <list><item>
private pages are accessed by one

  process
</item>

          <item>
shared pages can be accessed by more than

  one process
</item>

          <item>
clean pages have not yet been modified

  while in memory and can be discarded when designated to be swapped

  out
</item>

          <item>
dirty pages have been modified while in

  memory and must be written to disk when designated to be swapped

  out
</item></list>

	  
Dispozitiv

	  
The major and minor numbers of the device on which the shared

    library filename is located. Together these specify a partition on the

    system.

	  
Inode

	  
The inode on the device from which the shared library location

    is loaded into memory. An inode is the structure the filesystem uses to

    store a file, and the number assigned to it is unique.
