This manual describes how to use chap which is a tool that looks at process images, identfies dynamically allocated memory and how it is used.
At present this has only been tested on Linux, with the chap binary built for 64bit x86-64.
At the time of this writing, the only process image file formats supported by chap are little-endian 32 bit ELF cores and little-endian 64 bit ELF cores, both of which are expected to be complete. Run chap without any arguments to get a current list of supported process image file formats.
At present the only memory allocator for which chap will be able to find allocations in the process image is the version of malloc used by glibc on Linux.
