How I can get the peak memory on Mac OS?

Question

In Windows I can get the Peak Memory usage by calling GetProcessMemoryInfo

function TProcess.Peek: Cardinal;
var
  PMC: PPROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERS;
  PMCSize: Cardinal;
begin
  PMCSize := SizeOf(PROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERS);
  GetMem(PMC, PMCSize);
  try
    PMC^.cb := PMCSize;
    if GetProcessMemoryInfo(FHandle, PMC, PMCSize) then
      Exit(PMC^.PeakWorkingSetSize)
    else
      Exit(0);
  finally
    FreeMem(PMC);
  end;
end;

What is the Mac OS equivalent to do this?

You can use /usr/bin/time -l <cmd> like this:

/usr/bin/time -l sleep 3
