Calculating an Aterm's size

## NAME

termsize - Calculating an Aterm's size

## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page briefly describes the **termsize** commands.

**termsize** This utility can be used to calculate three things:

- •

  core size : the amount of memory a given Aterm needs

- •

  text size : the amount of memory needed to hold a textual representation of an Aterm

- •

  tree depth : the maximum deph of a term

The results are written to stdout. As termsize uses AtreadFromFile, it can calculate the size of both textual and BAF representatiobs of Aterms.
