fincore - count pages of file contents in core
Contents
Availability
The fincore command is part of the util-linux package which can be downloaded from Linux Kernel Archive
<https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/>.
util-linux 2.40.2 2024-05-28 FINCORE(1)
Description
fincore counts pages of file contents being resident in memory (in core), and reports the numbers. If an
error occurs during counting, then an error message is printed to the stderr and fincore continues
processing the rest of files listed in a command line.
The default output is subject to change. So whenever possible, you should avoid using default outputs in
your scripts. Always explicitly define expected columns by using --outputcolumns-list in environments
where a stable output is required.
Name
fincore - count pages of file contents in core
Options
-n, --noheadings
Do not print a header line in status output.
-b, --bytes
Print the sizes in bytes rather than in a human-readable format.
By default, the unit, sizes are expressed in, is byte, and unit prefixes are in power of 2^10 (1024).
Abbreviations of symbols are exhibited truncated in order to reach a better readability, by
exhibiting alone the first letter of them; examples: "1 KiB" and "1 MiB" are respectively exhibited
as "1 K" and "1 M", then omitting on purpose the mention "iB", which is part of these abbreviations.
-o, --outputlist
Define output columns. See the --help output to get a list of the currently supported columns. The
default list of columns may be extended if list is specified in the format +list.
--output-all
Output all available columns.
-r, --raw
Produce output in raw format. All potentially unsafe characters are hex-escaped (\x<code>).
-J, --json
Use JSON output format.
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
-V, --version
Print version and exit.
