Use LibCore ArgsParser to parse the parameters instead of using the raw strings from the argv (Main::Arguments) array. Also, use indicative names for variables in the code so the utility code is more understandable.

## Name
|
|
|
|
allocate - allocate memory
|
|
|
|
## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```**sh
|
|
$ allocate [--unit B/KiB/MiB/GiB] [--sleep-time N] [number]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
`allocate` allocates a specific amount of virtual memory. If nothing is specified
|
|
then it will allocate 100 bytes of memory.
|
|
If `number` is specified without `unit`, it will default to `number` of bytes.
|
|
It also writes to each allocated page and then sleeps for N seconds (by default 10).
|
|
It is primarily used to test the kernel's memory management capabilities.
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
* `-u`, `--size-unit`: Allocation's Size Unit (Base 2 units - B, KiB, MiB or GiB)
|
|
* `-n`, `--sleep-time`: Number of seconds to sleep before freeing memory
|
|
|
|
