Dear Manager:
    I want to know the real memory size of a process.
I used the command "ps -o rssize -p pid". But I found that
RSSIZE of the running process only grow in size, never shrink,
even after I freed the allocated memory in my program. why?
    Are there any other ways to know the real memory size of a
running process?
    If someone has experince on it ,please email to me. I 'll appreciate
it
very much. Thanks in advanced!
