On my crappy little system, it would go like this (using helloworld.c
from the examples directory):

dbx helloworld
(prompt here) check -leaks
(prompt here) run
Enabling Error Checking... done
[now I click the button]
Hello World
Checking for memory leaks...

Actual leaks report    (actual leaks:         1  total size:       4 bytes)

 Total  Num of  Leaked      Allocation call stack

Possible leaks report  (possible leaks:       0  total size:       0 bytes)

(prompt here) quit

Easy, da? :-)
Now, was that a real leak or my crappy little system misunderstood
something?
