    What's the easiest command to read to get good information on memory
    usage? I played with "/sbin/sysctl -n hw.physmem hw.usermem vm.kvm_size
    vm.kvm_free" yesterday but I have the feeling that these are not the
    numbers I think they are, because they add up wrong.

    There's some pretty good stuff at the top of top, but I'd be happier
    with output in raw numbers of bytes, to feed to my graphing program.
    This would also save the trouble of reinterpreting M into * 1024^2.

    Thanks in advance for any tips.

    Sincerely,
    -danny
