SYNOPSIS
       syd-mem [-sHV] [pid]

DESCRIPTION
       The syd-mem utility calculates the memory usage of the given process or
       the parent process. Source of information is the per-process file
       proc_pid_smaps_rollup(5) or proc_pid_smaps(5) when -s option is given.

OPTIONS

       -H   Print human-formatted size
       -V   Print virtual memory size
       -s   Use proc_pid_smaps(5) rather than the rollup file.
