NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       lsmem [options]

DESCRIPTION

       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

       -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.   The  default list of columns may be extended if list is specified in the
              format +list (e.g. lsmem -o +NODE).

       -P, --pairs
              Produce output in the form of key="value" pairs.  All potentially unsafe characters
              are hex-escaped (\x<code>).

       -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.
