用法

free [-b | -k | -m | -g | -h] [-o] [-s delay ] [-c count ] [-a] [-t] [-l] [-V]

常用选项

选项	含义	说明
-b	单位byte	switch displays the amount of memory in bytes;
-k	单位k	switch (set by default) displays it in kilobytes;
-m	单位m	switch displays it in megabytes;
-g	单位g	switch displays it in gigabytes;
-h	人类可读方式	switch displays all output fields automatically scaled to the shortest (three digit) representation including the unit. That makes the values human readable.
-t	显示汇总行	switch displays a line containing the totals.
-o	disables the display of a "buffer adjusted" line	switch disables the display of a "buffer adjusted" line. If the -o option is not specified, free subtracts buffer memory from the used memory and adds it to the free memory reported.
-s 间隔秒数	间隔几秒重复刷新显示	switch activates continuous polling delay seconds apart. You may actually specify any floating point number for delay, usleep(3) is used for microsecond resolution delay times.
-c 次数	重复刷新显示总次数	switch used together with the -s switch interrupts the polling after count repetitions.
-l	显示low行	switch shows detailed low and high memory statistics.
-a	显示可用内存	switch shows the available memory (if supported by the running kernel and enabled with sysctl -w vm.mem-info_legacy_layout=0 ; shows zero when unsupported or disabled). The produced output is wider than 80 characters.
-V	显示程序版本信息	switch displays version information.
