Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all memory units are in bytes.
@table @code
@item total
Total physical memory.
@item used
Used memory size.
@item free
Free memory size.
@item shared
Shared memory size.
This are both segments that are @code{mmap()}ed with @code{MAP_SHARED} and
IPC Shared Memory segments.
@item buffer
Size of buffers.
@item cached
Size of cached memory.
@item user
Memory used from user processes.
This is normally @code{total - free - shared - buffer}.
@item locked
Memory in locked segments.

The following units are in bytes.
@table @code
@item total
Total swap space in the system.
@item used
Used swap space.
@item free
Free swap space.
@end table
You can use @code{pagein} and @code{pageout} to get some measure about how
much the system is swapping at the moment. They're increased each time a page
is swapped in or out, so you need to save this values, wait a little bit, get
them again and then compare the two results to find out how much the system
swapped in the meantime.
@table @code
@item pagein
Total number of swap pages that have been brought in since system boot
@item pageout
Total number of swap pages that have been brought out since system boot
