heap(1)                 System General Commands Manual                 heap(1)

NAME
     heap - List all the malloc-allocated buffers in the process's heap

SYNOPSIS
     heap pid

DESCRIPTION
     heap lists the objects currently allocated on the heap of the current
     process.  Any Objective C objects will also be described, listed by
     class.  heap also prints summarizing data.

SEE ALSO
     malloc(3) leaks(1) malloc_history(1)

     Similar graphical applications are part of the developer tools for the
     system.  MallocDebug.app is a graphical application that also provides
     information about heap-allocated memory.  It also performs leak analysis.
     heap has the advantage that the data can be immediately parsed by text-
     based tools, and impacts the system less because it is not a full graphi-
     cal application.
