medd

medd is a command-line utility designed for monitoring and managing memory usage on Linux systems. It provides detailed information about various memory-related metrics, including RAM, swap space, and cache. The tool aims to offer a more user-friendly and insightful view of memory consumption compared to standard system tools.

Key features of medd include real-time memory usage tracking, the ability to identify processes consuming the most memory, and options to analyze memory allocation patterns. It can display information in human-readable formats, making it easier to understand complex memory statistics. Users can typically invoke medd with various options to filter data, sort processes, and adjust the refresh rate of the displayed information.

The utility is often used by system administrators and developers for performance tuning and troubleshooting memory-related issues. By providing a granular look at memory usage, medd helps in diagnosing problems such as memory leaks or excessive resource consumption by applications. It can be particularly useful in identifying bottlenecks that might be impacting system stability or application responsiveness.

medd is typically available as an open-source project, and its installation usually involves standard package management tools on Linux distributions. Its development focuses on providing a powerful yet accessible interface for memory analysis.
