Well, it is pretty easy and does not require any complex steps. - -So in this tutorial, I will walk you through using the free command with examples along with exercise questions for you to practice. - -### How to use the free command in Linux - -To use free or any other command, it is a good idea to start with the command syntax, and I'll start with the same. - -Here's the syntax for the free command: - -``` - - free [options] - -``` - -You are given multiple options which are supposed to be used in the `[options]` field to change the default behavior of the free command. - -Now, allow me to share some commonly used options with the free command: - -Option | Description ----|--- -`-h` | Print information in human-readable form by adjusting data units in KB, GB, etc. -`-s ` | Update the free output after a given seconds of interval. -`-t` | Shows the total amount of system and swap memory. -`-g` | Display data in gigabytes. -`-m` | Print information in megabytes. -`-k` | Shows output in kilobytes. - -But what if you execute the free command without options? Here's what you can expect: - -![][1] - -Here, - - * `total`: it indicates the total amount of storage. - * `used`: shows the utilized storage by your system. - * `free`: the amount of free memory that is available for new processes. - * `shared`: amount of memory used by tmpfs (temporary filesystem). - * `buff/cache`: represents the sum of the memory used by buffers and cache. - * `available`: it estimates how much memory is available to start a new application without swapping. It is a sum of the `free` memory and a part of the `buff/cache` which can be immediately used. - - - -So, if you want all kinds of information, just type in the command with no flags. - -Now, let's look at some examples of the free command. - -#### 1\. Display information in human-readable form - -By default, the free command will display the data in kibibytes which is not the most human-readable form you can have. - -That's where the `-h` options come into play which prints values in human-readable form such as in KB or GBs. - -``` - - free -h - -``` - -![][2] - -#### 2\. Show statistics continuously - -Once you execute the free command, it will only show you stats of the time when you executed the command. For example, if I executed the `free` command at `12:45` then, it will display the stats of that time only. - -So the question is: How you can achieve a similar behavior like [htop][3] which shows the live stats? Not exactly the same, but you can refresh the stats at specific time intervals using the `-s` flag as shown here: - -``` - - free -s - -``` - -For example, if I want to refresh the free command every second, then I will use the following command: - -``` - - free -s 1 - -``` - -**Suggested Read 📖** - -![][4] - -#### 3\. Define how many times to display the stats - -In a previous example, I explained how you can use the free command to show stats continuously, but you may not want it to refresh endlessly instead, a few times only. - -For that purpose, you can use the `-c` flag as shown here: - -``` - - free -c - -``` - -Let's say I want to see the stats 3 times, then I will be using the following: - -``` - - free -c 3 - -``` - -![][5] - -By default, it will refresh the data every second but you can use the `-s` flag to specify the interval time: - -``` - - free -c -s - -``` - -For example, here, if I would like to display stats 3 times with intervals of 2 seconds, then I will be using the following command: - -``` - - free -c 3 -s 2 - -``` - -![][6] - -#### 4\. Specify the output datatype - -While for most users, using the `-h` flag to display data in human-readable form would get the job done, but what if you want to specify the data type by yourself? - -Well, you can specify the datatype using the following flags: - -Flag | Description ----|--- -`--kilo` | Display memory in kilobytes. -`--mega` | Display memory in megabytes. -`--giga` | Display memory in gigabytes. -`--tera` | Display memory in terabytes. - -You can use the above flags in the following manner: - -``` - - free -- - -``` - -For example, if I wish to display memory stats in megabytes, then, I will use the following: - -``` - - free --mega - -``` - -![][7] - -#### 5\. Get the sum of physical and swap memory - -By default, the free memory will show the row of physical and swap memory, but what if you want to get the sum of them? - -Well, you can use the `-t` flag: - -``` - - free -t - -``` - -![][8] - -### Exercise questions 👨‍💻 - -Here are some questions that you can practice to get better at using the free command: - - * Print memory stats continuously for 3 times, with an interval of 3 seconds in between. - * Get the sum of physical and swap memory but in human-readable form. - * Redirect the output of the free command in the text file. - * How to print only one column from the output of the free command? (Hint: use [awk command][9] and specify column number). - - - -If you have any doubts regarding the questions, you can reach out to us in our [community forum][10] or leave a comment here. - -### Wrapping Up - -Every single command comes in handy in one way or the other. The free command also has one such underrated use-case to get useful information. - -If you are just getting started with a Linux terminal, we made a series for users like you who are eager to learn but can't find a place to start: - -![][4] - -_💬 I hope you find this guide useful!
