Memsnap.exe: Memory Profiling Tool

This command-line tool takes a snapshot of the memory resources being consumed by all running processes and writes this information to a log file.

MemSnap logs system memory usage to a log file with the default name of Memsnap.log. However, any file name can be chosen by specifying it at the command line when starting the tool.
