NAME

       Sys::MemInfo - query the total free and used physical memory

SYNOPSIS

         use Sys::MemInfo qw(totalmem freemem totalswap);

         print "total memory: ".(&totalmem / 1024)."\n";
         print "free memory:  ".(&freemem / 1024)."\n";

         print "total swap: ".(&totalswap / 1024)."\n";
         print "free swap:  ".(Sys::MemInfo::get("freeswap") / 1024)."\n";

DESCRIPTION

       Sys::MemInfo return the total amount of free and used physical memory in bytes in totalmem and freemem
       variables.

       Total amount of free and user swap memory are alse returned in totalswap and freeswap variables.

       This module has been tested on Linux 3.13.0, UnixWare 7.1.2, AIX5, OpenBSD 3.8, NetBSD 2.0.2, FreBSD 5.4,
       HPUX11, Solaris 9, Tru64 5.1, Irix 6.5, Mac OS X 10.2 darwin and Windows XP.

METHODS

       availkeys
           Return  list of all accessor keys (freemem, totalmem, etc.)  This is useful for dumping out all known
           information from the object by calling get() on all of the returned keys.

       freemem
           Returns free physical memory in bytes.

       freeswap
           Returns free swap space in bytes.

       get Returns the value of the passed key.

       totalmem
           Returns total physical memory size in bytes.

       totalswap
           Returns total swap space in bytes.
