sicklefire/m-vis

How sicklefire/m-vis works

m-vis is a cross-platform process-memory diagnostic CLI and terminal UI. Users select a process, inspect its mappings, heaps, loaded modules, or memory bytes, and can compare heap snapshots or explore pointer relationships; CI mode can run checks and export reports. The central runtime path runs through command handling and the scan engine to the selected OS memory provider. The README documents the product capabilities; some subsystem links below rely on that documentation or the source index because their implementation excerpts were not provided.
