.TH LSMEM 1 "October 2016" "util-linux" "User Commands"
.SH NAME
lsmem \- list the ranges of available memory with their online status
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B lsmem
[options]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBlsmem\fP 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 \fB\-\-output\fR 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, \fBlsmem\fP prints the column but does not provide any data for it.
Use the \fB\-\-help\fR option to see the columns description.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BR \-a ", " \-\-all
List each individual memory block, instead of combining memory blocks with
similar attributes.
.TP
.BR \-b , " \-\-bytes"
Print the SIZE column in bytes rather than in a human-readable format.
.TP
.BR \-h ", " \-\-help
Display help text and exit.
.TP
.BR \-J , " \-\-json"
Use JSON output format.
.TP
.BR \-n , " \-\-noheadings"
Do not print a header line.
.TP
.BR \-o , " \-\-output " \fIlist\fP
Specify which output columns to print. Use \fB\-\-help\fR
to get a list of all supported columns.
.TP
.BR \-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 \fIlist\fP is
specified in the format \fB+\fIlist\fP (e.g. \fBlsmem \-o +NODE\fP).
.TP
.BR \-r , " \-\-raw"
Produce output in raw format. All potentially unsafe characters are hex-escaped
(\\x<code>).
.TP
.BR \-s , " \-\-sysroot " \fIdirectory\fP
Gather memory data for a Linux instance other than the instance from which the
\fBlsmem\fP command is issued. The specified \fIdirectory\fP is the system
root of the Linux instance to be inspected.
.TP
.BR \-V ", " \-\-version
Display version information and exit.
.TP
\fB\-\-summary\fR[=\fIwhen\fR]
This option controls summary lines output. The optional argument \fIwhen\fP can be
\fBnever\fR, \fBalways\fR or \fBonly\fR. If the \fIwhen\fR argument is
omitted, it defaults to \fB"only"\fR. The summary output is suppresed for
\fB\-\-raw\fR, \fB\-\-pairs\fR and \fB\-\-json\fR.
