k3 - displays memory free as percentage and bar chart

Public domain by Russell Marks


Installation
------------

If you want the executable or man page somewhere other than
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/man/man1, change the BINDIR and/or
MANDIR lines in the Makefile. Then do (as root) `make install'.


Description
-----------

`k3' displays the memory available as a percentage, the K free, and a
simple bar chart. Disk buffers are included in the total, but are
shown separately as these are reduced when physical memory is scarse.
(The `-r' option can be used to count buffers as unavailable memory.)
Kernel memory is not represented, just user memory.

k3 essentially just paints a prettier picture of the information given when
you do a `cat /proc/meminfo' or use the `free' program.

k3 works with both the old and new /proc/meminfo formats.


Share and Enjoy!
