+allocinfo
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+Provides information about memory allocations at all locations in the code
+base. Each allocation in the code is identified by its source file, line
+number, module (if originates from a loadable module) and the function calling
+the allocation. The number of bytes allocated and number of calls at each
+location are reported.
