Usage

When executed, memeater allocates memory and waits until it receives input from STDIN. An example call for consuming 4 Mebibyte is shown below.

./memeater -m 4M

Memeater supports the following command-line options.

-f <filename>   The filename to wait on, instead of STDIN.

-m <size>       Sets the amount of memory to consume. The modifiers
                'g', 'm', 'k' to specify Gibi-, Mebi-, and Kibibyte
                are supported. The modifier 'p' specifies the number
                of pages to allocate. Minor divergences from the
                specified size are possible.
