MEMORY INFORMATIONS

Generated by /proc/meminfo.
     memused         -  Total size of used memory in kilobytes.
     memfree         -  Total size of free memory in kilobytes.
     memusedper      -  Total size of used memory in percent.
     memtotal        -  Total size of memory in kilobytes.
     buffers         -  Total size of buffers used from memory in kilobytes.
     cached          -  Total size of cached memory in kilobytes.
     realfree        -  Total size of memory is real free (memfree + buffers + cached).
     realfreeper     -  Total size of memory is real free in percent of total memory.
     swapused        -  Total size of swap space is used is kilobytes.
     swapfree        -  Total size of swap space is free in kilobytes.
     swapusedper     -  Total size of swap space is used in percent.
     swaptotal       -  Total size of swap space in kilobytes.
     swapcached      -  Memory that once was swapped out, is swapped back in but still also is in the swapfile.
     active          -  Memory that has been used more recently and usually not reclaimed unless absolutely necessary.
     inactive        -  Memory which has been less recently used and is more eligible to be reclaimed for other purposes.
                        On earlier kernels (2.4) Inact_dirty + Inact_laundry + Inact_clean.
 
     The following statistics are only available by kernels from 2.6.
 
     slab            -  Total size of memory in kilobytes that used by kernel for data structure allocations.
     dirty           -  Total size of memory pages in kilobytes that waits to be written back to disk.
     mapped          -  Total size of memory in kilbytes that is mapped by devices or libraries with mmap.
     writeback       -  Total size of memory that was written back to disk.
     committed_as    -  The amount of memory presently allocated on the system.
 
     The following statistic is only available by kernels from 2.6.9.
 
     commitlimit     -  Total amount of memory currently available to be allocated on the system.
