MemoryMonitorWarningLevel
===================================================================

.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.Gio


.. versionadded:: 2.64




.. class:: MemoryMonitorWarningLevel
   :no-contents-entry:






Memory availability warning levels.

Note that because new values might be added, it is recommended that applications check
:obj:`~gi.repository.Gio.MemoryMonitorWarningLevel` as ranges, for example:

.. code-block:: C
   :dedent:

   if (warning_level > G_MEMORY_MONITOR_WARNING_LEVEL_LOW)
     drop_caches ();














Fields
------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: MemoryMonitorWarningLevel
   :no-index:
   

   .. attribute:: CRITICAL

      The system will soon start terminating
      processes to reclaim memory, including background processes.







   .. attribute:: LOW

      Memory on the device is low, processes
      should free up unneeded resources (for example, in-memory caches) so they can
      be used elsewhere.







   .. attribute:: MEDIUM

      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.
