Method Details

Returns the amount of completely free memory, in bytes.

Generally, it's better to use unused_memory, since free_memory doesn't count caching and other such "essentially free" types of memory.

Returns a dictionary with a massive amount of meta-information, by string.

Most implementations will take this directly out of /proc/meminfo. It is generally bad form to use this in an application.
