gops: Print the current runtime memory statistics.
$ gops memstats ${select}
try on your machine
The command "gops memstats ${select}" is used to retrieve memory statistics for a Go process using the "gops" tool.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "gops": This is the name of the tool or executable being used. It is a command-line tool for exploring and diagnosing Go processes.
- "memstats": This is a subcommand or function provided by the "gops" tool to fetch memory statistics of a Go process.
- "${select}": This is a placeholder or variable that needs to be replaced with a specific process ID or a process selector. It represents the identifier of the Go process for which memory statistics are to be retrieved. The actual process ID or selector value should be provided here.
The command, when executed with a valid process ID or selector, will gather information about the memory usage and allocations within the Go process, helping in monitoring and analyzing memory-related issues.
