smem - Pure Go Implementation

Pure Go implementation of the smem tool for reporting memory usage with proportional share of shared memory.

Features

• ✅ Complete parsing of /proc/[pid]/smaps
• ✅ Calculates USS, PSS, RSS, SWAP
• ✅ Reports by process, user, mapping, or system-wide
• ✅ Regex filtering by process, user, or mapping
• ✅ Flexible sorting (PSS, RSS, USS, Swap, name)
• ✅ Bar graphs and pie charts
• ✅ Flexible formatting (percentages, abbreviated units)
• ✅ Multi-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
• ✅ Pure Go - no external dependencies

Compilation

# Linux x86_64
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o smem main.go types.go parser.go

# macOS Intel
GOOS=darwin GOARCH=amd64 go build -o smem-darwin main.go types.go parser.go

# macOS M1/M2/M3 ARM64
GOOS=darwin GOARCH=arm64 go build -o smem-darwin-arm64 main.go types.go parser.go

# Windows
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o smem.exe main.go types.go parser.go

Usage

# Default - processes sorted by PSS
sudo ./smem

# System-wide report
sudo ./smem -w

# By user
sudo ./smem -u

# By mapping
sudo ./smem -m

# Sorted by RSS descending
sudo ./smem -s rss -r

# Filter processes (regex)
sudo ./smem -P 'firefox|chrome'

# Filter users
sudo ./smem -U '^root$'

# With percentages and abbreviated units
sudo ./smem -p -k

# Bar graph
sudo ./smem --bar=name

# Pie chart
sudo ./smem --pie=user

# No header and show totals
sudo ./smem -H -t

# Full help
./smem -h

Memory Metrics

• USS (Unique Set Size): Memory that is private to this process
• PSS (Proportional Set Size): Memory that is shared, divided proportionally
• RSS (Resident Set Size): Total memory resident in physical RAM
• SWAP: Memory that has been swapped out to disk
