memery used by fprintf()

Hello,

I have an application which uses fprintf() to save the log information. When I run it in the background and run "top" in the foreground, I noticed that the used memory keeps growing. After a long time, it will used almost all of the memory 128MB, only 2MB memory is left as free. It does not cause any problem. I just want to know why.

I'm sure there is not a memory leak in the code. (Without fprintf, the used memory is stable.)

thanks

I'm not sure but maby the log file is not yet written to the drive yet but still in memory. After each fprintf, use fflush() and see if the memory usage goes up that high still.

Does the reserved memory for the program go to 128 MiB, or the overall system memory?
