| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| LOW50 | Memory on the device is low, processes should free up unneeded resources (for example, in-memory caches) so they can be used elsewhere. |
| MEDIUM100 | Same as G_MEMORY_MONITOR_WARNING_LEVEL_LOW but the device has even less free memory, so processes should try harder to free up unneeded resources. If your process does not need to stay running, it is a good time for it to quit. |
| CRITICAL255 | The system will soon start terminating processes to reclaim memory, including background processes. |
Memory availability warning levels.
Note that because new values might be added, it is recommended that applications check GMemoryMonitorWarningLevel as ranges, for example:
if (warning_level > G_MEMORY_MONITOR_WARNING_LEVEL_LOW) drop_caches ();
