  • leak_check [full*|summary] [kinds <set>|reachable|possibleleak*|definiteleak] [heuristics heur1,heur2,...] [increased*|changed|any] [unlimited*|limited <max_loss_records_output>]Performs leak check. The * character in the arguments indicates the default values.

[full*|summary] , ; . : , , . , , . , , . . , , , , . , .

, . <set> --show-leak-kinds. , definiteleak kinds definite, possibleleak kinds definite,possible: , , . I.e , . (.. ).
