Displaying Information About Page and Swap Files  



The DCL command SHOW MEMORY/FILES displays information about the page and swap files existing on your system, including file names, sizes, and the amount of space used. For example: 
$ SHOW MEMORY/FILES
              System Memory Resources on 19-JAN-2001 13:35:26.58
 
Swap File Usage (8KB pages):                   Index        Free        Size
  DISK$PAGE_DUMPS:[SYS0.SYSEXE]SWAPFILE.SYS;2
                                                   1        7992        8248
 
Paging File Usage (8KB pages):                 Index        Free        Size
  DISK$PAGE_DUMPS:[SYS0.SYSEXE]PAGEFILE.SYS;1
                                                 254       13722       16496
  Total committed paging file usage:                                               4870
The total committed paging file usage is the number of pages
in the system that require pagefile space for paging. It can be
bigger than the total number of pagefile pages that are available
because it is unlikely that all the required space will be used
for paging at one time.
