What is the GlobalMemoryStatus function?
What is the API?
An application programming interface (API) is a protocol intended to be used as an interface by software components to communicate with each other
The GlobalMemoryStatus function retrieves information about current available memory and fills (заполняет) a TMemoryStatus structure. The function returns information about both physical and virtual memory.
GlobalMemoryStatus function obtains (получает) variable of the type TMemoryStatus. The TMemoryStatus contains several fields given in Table
PARAMETERS OF TMEMORYSTATUS STRUCTURE
| dwLength | This member contains the size of the structure in bytes and must be set to SizeOf(TMemoryStatus) before the call to GlobalMemoryStatus is made |
| dwMemoryLoad | Contains a value between0 and 100 indicating the approximate percentage of memory in use. |
| dwTotalPhys | Indicates the total amount of physical RAM in bytes. |
| dwAvailPhys | Indicates the total amount of available physical RAM in bytes. |
| dwTotalPageFile | Indicates the maximum amount of storage space in the swap file in bytes, including both used space and available space. |
| dwAvailPageFile | Indicates the total amount of available space in the swap file in bytes. |
| dwTotalVirtual | Indicates the total amount of virtual address space for the calling process in bytes. |
| dwAvailVirtual | Indicates the total amount of unreserved and uncommitted space in the virtual address space of the calling process in bytes. |
