+/* Memory usage monitor.
+ *
+ * This is intended to be called as part of a daemon's main loop. After some
+ * time to allow the daemon to allocate an initial memory usage, it logs some
+ * memory usage information (most of which must actually be provided by the
+ * client). At intervals, if the daemon's memory usage has grown
+ * significantly, it again logs information.
+ *
+ * The monitor also has a unixctl interface.
+ *
+ * Intended usage in the program's main loop is like this:
+ *
+ * for (;;) {
+ * memory_run();
+ * if (memory_should_report()) {
+ * struct simap usage;
+ *
+ * simap_init(&usage);
+ * ...fill in 'usage' with meaningful statistics...
+ * memory_report(&usage);
+ * simap_destroy(&usage);
+ * }
+ *
+ * ...
+ *
+ * memory_wait();
+ * poll_block();
+ * }
