Description

On Linux, macOS and windows memory_full_info() can be used to query a process for its Unique Set Size which is a better measure for actual memory usage. Might be interesting to report this as well.

Research direction

Start by locating psrecord’s existing process-memory reporting entry point and read how current memory usage is collected. Check Python’s memory_full_info() availability on Linux, macOS, and Windows, then define completion as reporting Unique Set Size alongside the existing memory measure without breaking platforms where it is unavailable.
