- SYNOPSIS

- Avail [CHIP] [FAST] [TOTAL]
-
- 2.x/3.x
- Avail [CHIP] [FAST] [TOTAL] [FLUSH]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Avail reports on the amount of memory available in
- the system, its type, how much of each type is in use and
- is free, and the largest single block of memory of each
- type (also known as contiguous memory).
-
- This command is useful with shell scripts to
- determine if there is enough memory available to load a
- program, file or graphic before you actually perform the
- load.
-
- OPTIONS
- CHIP
- Reports the total amount of free chip memory
-
- FAST
- Reports the total amount of free fast memory
-
- TOTAL
- Reports the total of all free memory, both fast and
- chip.
-
- FLUSH
- 2.x/3.x Only: This option will force all unused
- devices, libraries and other resources out of the system,
- which gives the most accurate report of available memory.
- This will free you as much memory as possible by killing
- all information in your memory not being used by any
- program. This is useful to kill off all the residue of
- processes that exited but did not give you all your
- memory back.
