getmemoryinfo - Bitcoin RPC

getmemoryinfo ("mode")
Returns an object containing information about memory usage.
Arguments:
1. "mode" determines what kind of information is returned. This argument is optional, the default mode is "stats".
  - "stats" returns general statistics about memory usage in the daemon.
  - "mallocinfo" returns an XML string describing low-level heap state (only available if compiled with glibc 2.10+).

Result (mode "stats"):
{
  "locked": {               (json object) Information about locked memory manager
    "used": xxxxx,          (numeric) Number of bytes used
    "free": xxxxx,          (numeric) Number of bytes available in current arenas
    "total": xxxxxxx,       (numeric) Total number of bytes managed
    "locked": xxxxxx,       (numeric) Amount of bytes that succeeded locking. If this number is smaller than total, locking pages failed at some point and key data could be swapped to disk.
    "chunks_used": xxxxx,   (numeric) Number allocated chunks
    "chunks_free": xxxxx,   (numeric) Number unused chunks
  }
}

Result (mode "mallocinfo"):
"<malloc version="1">..."

This is a website, created out of frustration with uncomplete and outdated Bitcoin Core RPC documentation online.

It was inspired by ChainQuery, which seems to be abandoned. These docs are even simplier, so they can be regenerated by anyone.

Bitcoin version: 0.16.0.

Note that the RPC is from a regtest node (for completeness), so it includes some additional calls that a regular node doesn't have.
