proc_vmstat(5) File Formats Manual proc_vmstat(5)
/proc/vmstat - virtual memory statistics
/proc/vmstat (since Linux 2.6.0)
This file displays various virtual memory statistics.
Each line of this file contains a single name-value pair,
delimited by white space. Some lines are present only if
the kernel was configured with suitable options. (In some
cases, the options required for particular files have
changed across kernel versions, so they are not listed
here. Details can be found by consulting the kernel
source code.) The following fields may be present:
nr_free_pages (since Linux 2.6.31)
