.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
\fBfree\fP displays the total amount of free and used physical and swap
|
||
|
|
memory in the system, as well as the buffers used by the kernel.
|
||
|
|
The shared memory column should be ignored; it is obsolete.
|
||
|
|
-.SS Options
|
||
|
|
-The \fB-b\fP switch displays the amount of memory in bytes; the
|
||
|
|
-\fB-k\fP switch (set by default) displays it in kilobytes; the \fB-m\fP
|
||
|
|
-switch displays it in megabytes.
|
||
|
|
-.PP
|
||
|
|
-The \fB-t\fP switch displays a line containing the totals.
|
||
|
|
-.PP
|
||
|
|
-The \fB-o\fP switch disables the display of a "buffer adjusted" line.
|
||
|
|
-If the -o option is not specified, \fBfree\fP subtracts buffer memory
|
||
|
|
-from the used memory and adds it to the free memory reported.
|
||
|
|
-.PP
|
||
|
|
-The \fB-s\fP switch activates continuous polling \fIdelay\fP seconds apart. You
