org.freedesktop.LowMemoryMonitororg.freedesktop.LowMemoryMonitor — D-Bus proxy to Linux' memory pressure information |
Unsandboxed applications and desktop-environments can listen for the "LowMemoryWarning" signal to know when they should drop caches, and unnecessary allocated memory so as to reduce their memory usage.
The object path will be "/org/freedesktop/LowMemoryMonitor".
LowMemoryWarning (y level);
Signal emitted when a particular low memory situation happens. The valid level values go from 0 to 255, but only certain values are currently used. The higher the number, the more urgent the warning is. Currently used levels are:
50 |
Memory on the device is low, processes should free up unneeded resources so they can be used elsewhere. |
100 |
The device has even less free memory, so processes should try harder to free up unneeded resources. If your process does not need to stay running, it is a good time for it to quit. |
255 |
The system will start terminating processes to reclaim memory, including background processes. |
|
An integer representing the level of low memory warning. |
