[ug-bosug] What is the equivalent of "free -m" in Nevada?

[Pramod Batni]

There is a 'mdb' dcmd which shows the memory usage.
# echo "::memstat" | mdb -k #you need to be root
Page Summary                Pages     MB  %Tot
------------     ----------------  ----------------  ----
Kernel                      10999                85    4%
Anon                        49737               388   19%
Exec and libs               14201           110    5%
Page cache                  31002            242   12%
Free (cachelist)            16710            130    6%
Free (freelist)            136530              1066   53%

Total                        259179               2024
Physical                   255344               1994

In the above output, memory consumed by kernel, Anon, Exec & Libs and Page cache
is used memory.  Roughly, Kernel, Exec & Libs and Page Cache would be
shared memory.
As Brian mentioned  'vmstat'/swap  tells you about the swap space available.
