Can somebody explain the mem file?

  • 1.  Can somebody explain the mem file?

    I cann't understand the lines in found the /proc/vmware/sched/mem, the file as following:

    16254788  Managed
        139020  Kernel
      3108236  Free
        975264  MinFree
      2132972  Excess
             high  Status
     
      2797288 MemReserved
    13318480 MemAvailable

    my question is:

    1) what does the first line mean?

    2) what does the second line mean?

    3) what does the MemReserved mean?

    4) what does the MemAvaiable mean?

    I noticed that (16254788  Managed) = (139020  Kernel) + (2797288 MemReserved) + (13318480 MemAvailable), What does this imply?

    Can somebody give me explaination about this?

    thanks!
