This utility uses the following syntax:
MEM [/PROGRAM | /DEBUG | /CLASSIFY]
The following list describes each of the command line arguments.
/PROGRAM or /P
Displays the status of programs currently loaded into memory. Use this
command line switch to identify applications that you can remove to free memory. Figure 12.2
shows typical output when using this command line switch. Notice that the output lists every
memory usage, including the memory used by the command processor for requirements such
as the file handles and drives. The size column shows the memory usage for the application or
other element in hexadecimal. The
??” Free ??”
indicator in the Type column shows areas of free
memory in the current command prompt.
NOTE
The programs loaded into memory for the command prompt aren??™t the same programs
that are loaded into the Windows environment. The list of applications that you see when you
view the Applications tab of the Windows Task Manager won??™t match those shown at the command
prompt. The environments are separate. Windows treats the command prompt as a single
black box entity, even though it??™s running one or more applications.
