I've noticed that meminfo does not display real values - function free -m does. If I insert to memtester the same value that I got from free -m memtester works normally, but when I put only 1MB higher number memtester terminates - not enough memory(so that means the function in shell free -m displays real free memory data). Question now is how to enter the shell function from C to save and display data from free -m?
Have a nice Day

Linux Kernels 2.6.16 and up provide a way to instruct the kernel to drop the page cache, inode and dentry caches on command. This tip can help free Linux memory without a reboot.
Note: This is a non-destructive operation. Dirty objects are not freeable, hence; you must run sync beforehand.

Hi guys.
I've a question, if we are using a syscall that receives a string allocated dynamicaly to a determined size, or NUL and it will allocate the apropriate size. We should free the memory or the OS will do it for us?

memtotal - Total size of memory in kilobytes.
buffers - Total size of buffers used from memory in kilobytes.
cached - Total size of cached memory in kilobytes.
realfree - Total size of memory is real free (memfree + buffers + cached).
realfreeper - Total size of memory is real free in percent of total memory.
swapused - Total size of swap space is used is kilobytes.
swapfree - Total size of swap space is free in kilobytes.
swapusedper - Total size of swap space is used in percent.
swaptotal - Total size of swap space in kilobytes.
swapcached - Memory that once was swapped out, is swapped back in but still also is in the swapfile.
active - Memory that has been used more recently and usually not reclaimed unless absolutely necessary.
inactive - Memory which has been less recently used and is more eligible to be reclaimed for other purposes.
On earlier kernels (2.4) Inact_dirty + Inact_laundry + Inact_clean.
The following statistics are only available by kernels from 2.6.
slab - Total size of memory in kilobytes that used by kernel for data structure allocations.
dirty - Total size of memory pages in kilobytes that waits to be written back to disk.
mapped - Total size of memory in kilbytes that is mapped by devices or libraries with mmap.
writeback - Total size of memory that was written back to disk.
committed_as - The amount of memory presently allocated on the system.
The following statistic is only available by kernels from 2.6.9.
commitlimit - Total amount of memory currently available to be allocated on the system.
