procps/free.c -- line 81:

static NOINLINE unsigned int parse_meminfo(struct globals *g)
{
    char buf[60]; /* actual lines we expect are ~30 chars or less */
    FILE *fp;
    int seen_cached_and_available_and_reclaimable;

    fp = xfopen_for_read("/proc/meminfo");

What does this mean?

free() { grep -E
"MemTotal|MemFree|MemAvailable|Buffers|Cached:|SReclaimable|SwapFree|SwapTotal"
/proc/meminfo; }
