buffers and cached in top utility

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

 



Hello everybody,
 
When the top is started its shows buffers and cached.
The help explains buffers as - amount of memory used
as buffers. There is nothing given on cached. Can
anyone tell me what is meant by buffers and cached in
top.
    regards,
             amit
