DESCRIPTION         top

       The pcp-meminfo command is used for viewing the different kinds
       of stats related to memory.  Using various options it helps a
       user to analyze useful information related to the memory
       availability.  This information includes total memory, memory
       available, shared memory, etc.  By default pcp-meminfo reports
       live data for the local host.

NOTES         top

       pcp-meminfo collects information from /proc/meminfo and aims to
       be command line and output compatible with it.

PCP ENVIRONMENT         top

       Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to
       parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP.  On each
       installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values
       for these variables.  The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to
       specify an alternative configuration file, as described in
       pcp.conf(5).

       For environment variables affecting PCP tools, see
       pmGetOptions(3).
