+# MemoryManagement
+
+The `Napi::MemoryManagement` class contains functions that give the JavaScript engine
+an indication of the amount of externally allocated memory that is kept alive by
+JavaScript objects.
+
+## Methods
+
+### AdjustExternalMemory
+
+The function `AdjustExternalMemory` adjusts the amount of registered external
+memory used to give the JavaScript engine an indication of the amount of externally
+allocated memory that is kept alive by JavaScript objects.
+The JavaScript engine uses this to decide when to perform global garbage collections.
+Registering externally allocated memory will trigger global garbage collections
+more often than it would otherwise in an attempt to garbage collect the JavaScript
+objects that keep the externally allocated memory alive.
+
+```cpp
+static int64_t Napi::MemoryManagement::AdjustExternalMemory(Napi::Env env, int64_t change_in_bytes);
+```
+
+- `[in] env`: The environment in which the API is invoked under.
+- `[in] change_in_bytes`: The change in externally allocated memory that is kept
+alive by JavaScript objects expressed in bytes.
+
+Returns the adjusted memory value.
