FINCORE(1)                    User Commands                   FINCORE(1)

NAME

       fincore - count pages of file contents in core

SYNOPSIS

       fincore [options] file...

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 --output columns-list
       in environments where a stable output is required.

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, --output list
           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.
