[hacknews] dataprop

henry@utzoo.UUCP (Henry Spencer) (06/28/84)

Installed a minor utility, dataprop(1), written by Laura.  It prints
the percentages of data space occupied by each global variable in an
(unstripped) object module.  Useful for finding out what the space hogs
in a program are.  (The space hogs in /unix are depressingly predictable:
the buffer cache and the inode table.  Sigh.)
