procmaps

Lifecycle: experimental R build status Codecov test coverage CRAN status

The goal of procmaps is to help determine which library or other region is mapped to a specific address of a process. It is the equivalent of /proc/self/maps as a data frame, and is designed to work on all major platforms.

Installation

You can install the released version of procmaps from CRAN with:

install.packages("procmaps")

Example

This is what /proc/self/maps looks like (on Linux) when this document is rendered:
