LSMEM(1)                        User Commands                       LSMEM(1)

NAME         top

       lsmem - list the ranges of available memory with their online status

SYNOPSIS         top

       lsmem [options]

DESCRIPTION         top

       The lsmem command lists the ranges of available memory with their
       online status. The listed memory blocks correspond to the memory
       block representation in sysfs. The command also shows the memory
       block size and the amount of memory in online and offline state.
       The default output compatible with original implementaion from
       s390-tools, but it's strongly recommended to avoid using default
       outputs in your scripts.  Always explicitly define expected columns
       by using the --output option together with a columns list in
       environments where a stable output is required.
       Not all columns are supported on all systems.  If an unsupported
       column is specified, lsmem prints the column but does not provide any
       data for it.
       Use the --help option to see the columns description.

OPTIONS         top

       -a, --all
              List each individual memory block, instead of combining memory
              blocks with similar attributes.
       -b, --bytes
              Print the SIZE column in bytes rather than in a human-readable
              format.
       -h, --help
              Display help text and exit.
       -J, --json
              Use JSON output format.
       -n, --noheadings
              Do not print a header line.
       -o, --output list
              Specify which output columns to print.  Use --help to get a
              list of all supported columns.
       -P, --pairs
              Produce output in the form of key="value" pairs.  All
              potentially unsafe characters are hex-escaped (\x<code>).  The
              default list of columns may be extended if list is specified
              in the format +list (e.g. lsmem -o +NODE).
       -r, --raw
              Produce output in raw format.  All potentially unsafe
              characters are hex-escaped (\x<code>).
       -s, --sysroot directory
              Gather memory data for a Linux instance other than the
              instance from which the lsmem command is issued.  The
              specified directory is the system root of the Linux instance
              to be inspected.
       -V, --version
              Display version information and exit.
       --summary[=when]
              This option controls summary lines output.  The optional
              argument when can be never, always or only.  If the when
              argument is omitted, it defaults to "only". The summary output
              is suppresed for --raw, --pairs and --json.
