and the total number of bytes consumed by in-use allocations.
(These two values correspond to the

and
.I uordblks
fields retrieved by
.BR mallinfo (3).)
In addition,
the function prints the sum of these two statistics for all arenas,
and the maximum number of blocks and bytes that were ever simultaneously
allocated using
.BR mmap (2).
If I understand correctly, this function output  "Total (incl.
mmap):\n" header, but
"system bytes" and "in use bytes" don't include mmaped chunk. So, It would be
nice if a bug section describe it.

But I'm not an expert on this area. Please don't 100% trust me.
I'm sorry. I was incorrect. stat work correctly. please forget this.
Okay -- no problem!

Cheers,

Michael
