pmap.c : Can you please try another name for it?

pmap.c : Can you please try another name for it?

[Dieter Nützel]

Hello Rik,

there is a nice little toy called "pmap.c" around for several years, now.
Should we consider?

/*
 * pmap.c: implementation of something like Solaris' /usr/proc/bin/pmap
 * for linux
 *
 * Author: Andy Isaacson <adi@acm.org>
 * Fri Jun 18 1999
 *
 * Updated Mon Oct 25 1999
 *  - calculate total size of shared mappings
 *  - change output format to read "writable/private" rather than "writable"
 *
 * Justification:  the formatting available in /proc/<pid>/maps is less
 * than optimal.  It's hard to figure out the size of a mapping from
 * that information (unless you can do 8-digit hex arithmetic in your
 * head) and it's just generally not friendly.  Hence this utility.
 *
 * I hereby place this work in the public domain.
 *
 * Compile with something along the lines of
 * gcc -O pmap.c -o pmap
 */

Regards,
	Dieter

I've been planning to implement that tool for procps. So, one way
or another, it will be common on Linux systems. Where might I find
the code you quoted from?

you may want to check sourceforge for xmlprocfs too.

[Thanks for the CC, Dieter.]

My public domain pmap implementation has a new home at

Unix has this thing called "directories", which make it possible
for you to have multiple files with the same name on your disk.

AFAIK the name "pmap" has been in use for the mapping of memory 
since before RCP-style networking has come into fashion and it never
seems to have caused any confusion.

Rik
