## Historique du projet et usages

eatmemory is a tiny command-line utility that allocates and holds a requested amount of RAM. Its significance is practical: it gives operators and developers a simple, packageable way to create memory pressure without installing a large stress-testing suite.

### Historique du projet

The public repository was created in August 2012. The README frames the tool as a one-job C99 binary that allocates, verifies, holds, and frees resident committed memory.

Recent releases show the project being modernized rather than expanded into a suite. Version 1.0.0 added broader platform work, CI organization, and release binaries; version 1.1.0 followed in May 2026 with packaged binaries for multiple Linux, macOS, and Windows architectures.

### Historique d'adoption

The input metadata records packaging in Homebrew, MacPorts, and Alpine. The upstream README also documents Homebrew installation and an official Docker image, which fits the tool's common use in local, container, and CI memory-limit tests.

### Modes d'utilisation

Users run commands such as `eatmemory 1G` or percentage-based allocations to test swap, container memory limits, Kubernetes eviction behavior, alerts, degradation under pressure, autoscaling, and noisy-neighbor scenarios.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

eatmemory is a good example of the Unix packaging sweet spot: a tiny C tool with no runtime dependencies, obvious behavior, and measurable operational value. It overlaps with stress-ng but intentionally keeps the interface narrow.

### Chronologie

- 2012: Public repository created.
- 2015: v0.1.4 release published.
- 2023: v0.1.9 added timed exit and improved argument parsing.
- 2026: v1.0.0 and v1.1.0 releases added modern release binaries and platform support.

### Related projects

- stress-ng is the comparison tool named by the README. The README also documents Docker Hub image usage for container memory testing.
