I would suggest using the DTrace stuff... either using instruments or using DTrace scripts directly... there is tons of good information about DTrace at google.

You can also look at /usr/include/mach directory for various mach calls regarding process statistics, including memory usage (all the stats can be grok'd from there including phyiscal memory used, virtual memory used, wired memory used as well as faults and other memory info)...

Hi,  I am trying to write some automated scenario tests that verify
that my application meets it's the memory usage constraint
requirements.

What API is available to find out how much memory an
application/process/thread has allocated?

I have looked at the documentation for NSZone, NSProcessInfo,
NSThread, NSAutoreleasePool, NSTask, NSApplication, the "Interacting
with the Operating System" guide and the "Memory Management
Programming Guide for Cocoa" guide but I have not found any
information about how to find out the number of pages, bytes or
objects that are in use.

Has anyone accessed this type of information in their own programs?

Thanks,
