The memory summary line ("KiB Mem") refers to the entire host/VM/container, as follows:
- total physical memory. The same value as /proc/meminfo MemTotal.
- free physical memory. The same value as /proc/meminfo MemFree.
- used physical memory. The memory is used by process, but not in buffers and cache.
- buffers/cache physical memory. The represents the sum of /proc/meminfo Buffers and /proc/meminfo Cached.
The relationship between the values described above is given by the formula:
total = free + used + buff/cache
The metrics per process are:
- VIRT: virtual size of the process.
- RES: resident size of the process.
- SHR: shareable size of the process.
Linux
Batch Mode
Run "top" in batch mode, just one iteration:
top -b -n 1
Only summary information (and one process for PID 0)
top -b -n 1 -p 0
Mac
Batch Mode
Specify one sample:
top -l 1
-l logging mode.
Get stats only for specific keys: -o <key>, where keys: ...
-n <nprocs> display only up to nprocs. 0 works, it only displays the system-wide stats.
top -l 1 -n 0
