I am just wondering what is the difference between Total Private Dirty,Total Pss,Total Shared Dirty. Though the explanation is on the website it doesn’t really make any sense to me.

Return total private dirty memory usage in kB.

getTotalPss()
Return total PSS memory usage in kB.

getTotalSharedDirty()
Return total shared dirty memory usage in kB.
