Hi all, I have a doubt regarding memory allocation. When i execute a user space program at the bash prompt as a daemon process, it occupies some memory. From where does this memory get allocated ? As far as i understand it is allocated from the RAM. When i execute df command, it displays the free space available as 10MB. While the process is executing as a daemon, the free space is displayed as 9MB. During the execution of this process. This 1MB being critical for my application, i tried deletin the file while its executing. Though nothing hazardous has happened in execution, the free space did not become 10MB again. It still continued to show 9MB while i expected the 10MB display(executable file size being 1MB) But if i kill that daemon process, it displays the 10MB again. Does this mean that the files while execution does not occupy any space on RAM ?? Can anyone help me in this understanding.
