=head1 NAME

Linux::Smaps::Tiny - A minimal and fast alternative to L

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Linux::Smaps::Tiny qw(get_smaps_summary);

    my $summary = get_smaps_summary();
    my $size = $summary->{Size};
    my $shared_clean = $summary->{Shared_Clean};
    my $shared_dirty = $summary->{Shared_Dirty};

    print "Size / Clean / Dirty = $size / $shared_clean / $shared_dirty\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is a tiny interface to F files. It was
written because when we rolled out L in some critical
code at a Big Internet Company we experienced slowdowns that were
solved by writing a more minimal version.

This module will try to use XS code to parse the smaps file, and if
that doesn't work it'll fall back on a pure-Perl version.

If something like that isn't your use case you should probably use
L instead. Also note that L itself L
been
optimized|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/perl-modperl/201103.mbox/browser>
since this module was initially written.

=head2 SPEED

The distribution comes with a F script. As of
writing this is the speed of L
v.s. L, both the XS and PP versions:

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 get_smaps_summary

Takes an optional process id (defaults to C) returns a summary
of the smaps data for the given process. Dies if the process does not
exist.

Returns a hashref like this:

        {
          'MMUPageSize' => '184',
          'Private_Clean' => '976',
          'Swap' => '0',
          'KernelPageSize' => '184',
          'Pss' => '1755',
          'Private_Dirty' => '772',
          'Referenced' => '2492',
          'Size' => '5456',
          'Shared_Clean' => '744',
          'Shared_Dirty' => '0',
          'Rss' => '2492'
        };

Values are in kB.
