In this episode of Defrag Tools, Andrew Richards, Chad Beeder and Larry Larsen continue looking at the Debugging Tools for Windows (in particular WinDbg). WinDbg is a debugger that supports user mode debugging of a process, or kernel mode debugging of a computer.
This installment goes over the commands used to show the memory used in a kernel mode debug session. We cover these commands:
!vm
!vm 1
!memusage 8
!poolused 2
!poolused 4
!poolfind <tag>
!pool <addr>
!pool <addr> 2
!pte
Make sure you watch Defrag Tools Episode #1 for instructions on how to get the Debugging Tools for Windows and how to set the required environment variables for symbols and source code resolution.
