33 * @title: GMemoryMonitor
34 * @short_description: Memory usage monitor
35 * @include: gio/gio.h
36 *
37 * #GMemoryMonitor will monitor system memory and suggest to the application
38 * when to free memory so as to leave more room for other applications.
39 * It is implemented on Linux using the [Low Memory Monitor](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/hadess/low-memory-monitor/)
40 * ([API documentation](https://hadess.pages.freedesktop.org/low-memory-monitor/)).
41 *
42 * There is also an implementation for use inside Flatpak sandboxes.
43 *
44 * Possible actions to take when the signal is received are:
45 * - Free caches
46 * - Save files that haven't been looked at in a while to disk, ready to be reopened when needed
47 * - Run a garbage collection cycle
48 * - Try and compress fragmented allocations
49 * - Exit on idle if the process has no reason to stay around
50 * - Call [`malloc_trim(3)`](man:malloc_trim) to return cached heap pages to
51 * the kernel (if supported by your libc)
52 *
53 * Note that some actions may not always improve system performance, and so
54 * should be profiled for your application. `malloc_trim()`, for example, may
55 * make future heap allocations slower (due to releasing cached heap pages back
56 * to the kernel).
57 *
58 * See #GMemoryMonitorWarningLevel for details on the various warning levels.
