    Hello,

    actually the question is in subj.
    Problem is that there is a program which needs to know physical memory
    size. This information is used to justify memory consumption as after some
    swapping performance is drops dramatically, and it is better to finish.

    I know that this is not the best idea, but it is assumed that this program
    is the only one running on the machine.

    I do not want to use proc as some people can just do not mount it.

    Any comments, suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    Denis Perchine.
