`GMemoryMonitor` will monitor system memory and suggest to the application
when to free memory so as to leave more room for other applications.
It is implemented on Linux using the
[Low Memory Monitor](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/hadess/low-memory-monitor/)
([API documentation](https://hadess.pages.freedesktop.org/low-memory-monitor/)).

There is also an implementation for use inside Flatpak sandboxes.

Possible actions to take when the signal is received are:

- Free caches
- Save files that haven’t been looked at in a while to disk, ready to be reopened when needed
- Run a garbage collection cycle
- Try and compress fragmented allocations
- Exit on idle if the process has no reason to stay around
- Call [`malloc_trim(3)`](man:malloc_trim(3)) to return cached heap pages to
the kernel (if supported by your libc)

Note that some actions may not always improve system performance, and so
should be profiled for your application. `malloc_trim()`, for example, may
make future heap allocations slower (due to releasing cached heap pages back
to the kernel).

See [type@Gio.MemoryMonitorWarningLevel] for details on the various warning
levels.

```c
static void
warning_cb (GMemoryMonitor *m, GMemoryMonitorWarningLevel level)
{
g_debug ("Warning level: %d", level);
if (warning_level > G_MEMORY_MONITOR_WARNING_LEVEL_LOW)
drop_caches ();
}

static GMemoryMonitor *
monitor_low_memory (void)
{
GMemoryMonitor *m;
m = g_memory_monitor_dup_default ();
g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (m), "low-memory-warning",
G_CALLBACK (warning_cb), NULL);
return m;
}
```

Don’t forget to disconnect the [signal@Gio.MemoryMonitor::low-memory-warning]
signal, and unref the `GMemoryMonitor` itself when exiting.
