free - Memory Usage Reporting

The free module enhances the standard memory reporting tool by adding structured data support (CSV/TSV) and providing a native implementation for macOS users who typically lack the free command.

When to Activate

  • When monitoring total, used, and free system memory.
  • When performing memory usage analysis in scripts using CSV/TSV formats.
  • When checking memory compression details on macOS.
  • When needing periodic memory reporting (polling).

Core Principles & Rules

  • Cross-Platform: Provides a consistent interface for memory stats on both Linux and macOS.
  • Automation-Ready: Supports --csv and --tsv for easy parsing without headers.
  • Real-Time Polling: Use -s and -c to repeat the output at intervals.

Patterns & Examples

Human-Readable View

bash
# Display system memory usage in a clear format
x free

Export for Scripting

bash
# Get memory data as a single-line CSV without headers
x free --csv --no-header

Periodic Monitoring

bash
# Refresh memory stats every 2 seconds for 10 iterations
x free -s 2 -c 10

Checklist

  • Verify if the output needs to be structured (CSV/TSV) for a script.
  • Confirm if headers should be included or omitted.
  • Ensure the correct polling interval is set if monitoring over time.

pufferlib

High-performance reinforcement learning framework optimized for speed and scale. Use when you need fast parallel training, vectorized environments, multi-agent systems, or integration with game environments (Atari, Procgen, NetHack). Achieves 2-10x speedups over standard implementations. For quick prototyping or standard algorithm implementations with extensive documentation, use stable-baselines3 instead.
