💖 FREECOLOR(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to freecolor — the user command that makes your memory stats actually cute. it lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and yes, this whole page is about to be your new obsession. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

freecolor — display amount of free and used memory graphically 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

freecolor [options]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

freecolor displays the total amount of free and used physical and swap memory in the system as a colored bargraph right there on the command line. no cap, it's giving dashboard energy but make it terminal. 📊✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -b — show the amount of memory in bytes. tiny numbers, big vibes.
  • -k — show the amount of memory in kilobytes. this is the default, so if you don't say anything, this is what you get. the moment of silence default. 🤫
  • -m — show the amount of memory in megabytes. the classic.
  • -o — show the output in old format. the only difference is that this option disables the display of the "buffer adjusted" line. retro era, we respect it. 🕰️
  • -s — continuously display the result delay seconds apart. and listen, you can literally specify any floating point number for delay — usleep(3) is used for microsecond resolution delay times. so yeah, she's precise. ⏱️💖
  • -t — display a line showing the column totals. math girlies rise. ➕
  • -V — display version information. say hi to the version. 👋

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • /proc/meminfo — memory information. the source of all the tea. 🫖
