[patch] wfix : free

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi man-page people,

The command "free" allows for measurement in gigabytes (free -g), but this
not noted in the man page. It *is* available in free --help

Please find attached a suggested patch.

All the best,
