Memory stats are accessed through get_memory_stats() call. This |

total contains the total memory in bytes. |
| 12 |
|
|
free is the total free memory in bytes. |
| 13 |
|
|
used is the total used memory in bytes. |
| 14 |
|
|
cache is the cache used in bytes. |

cache is not available in all operating systems. Solaris being a key |

one that it isn't. free memory and cache memory can sometimes be |
| 18 |
|

linked. |

Swap stats are accessed through get_swap_stats() call. This returns a |
| 21 |
|
|
pointer to a static swap_stat_t |

Freebsd requires kmem privilages to be able to do this call. Making the |
| 31 |
|
|
program setgid kmem should be sufficent. |

TODO |

|
|
Add a function to hold open the FD to kmem privilages could be dropped. |
