title: is writing in /tmp/ detectable for a too-much-memory software killer?
body: <p>I've got a general question and I don't really find a correct explanation.</p>
  
  <p>I have a program which is creating big files in <em>/tmp/</em>;</p>
  
  <p>Theses files are created as follow : </p>
  
  <pre><code> FILE *tmp;
   tmp = fopen(argv[i-1]+3, "w");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I've got another program, checking all the executable and killing all the process which are using too much memory.</p>
  
  <p><em>My question is as follow:</em></p>
  
  <p>Is the first program in danger ? 
  or writing in <em>/tmp/</em> is considered a <strong>disk space used</strong> and not <strong>memory used</strong> ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for your answer,</p>
  
  <p>Best Regards.</p>
