-l, --lowhigh

-o, --old

-t, --total
Display total summary for physical memory + swap space.
-c n, --count=n
Display statistics n times, then exit. Used in conjunction with the -s flag. Default is to display only once, unless -s was speci-

Repeat, pausing every n seconds in-between.
-V, --version
