The mleak command scans through an mpatrol log file looking for lines beginning with ALLOC: and FREE: but ignores lines beginning with REALLOC:, so only the LOGALLOCS and LOGFREES options are necessary when running a program linked with the mpatrol library. Note that as a result of this, no attempt is made to account for resizing of memory allocations and so the total amount of memory used by the resulting unfreed allocations may not be entirely accurate.
The file argument must be a valid mpatrol log filename but if file is omitted then mleak will use mpatrol.log as the name of the log file to use. The mleak command makes two passes over the log file so the file must be randomly-accessable. If file is given as - then the standard input file stream will be used as the log file.
