Fellow C programmers,

	I'm trying to find out how much dynamic heap storage my program
is taking during its run.  The only command I know of that does this is
ps -aux (on bsd).  However, I think it only displays the data and text
space because the value does not change even though the program frees 
a lot of space.  Does anyone out there have an idea?  Any C library function,
system call, or unix commands?


Thanks in advance.
