Node.js os.freemem() Method

Node.js os.endianness() Method

Node.js os.getPriority() Method

The os.freemem() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of the os module which is used to get the amount of free system memory.

Syntax:

os.freemem()

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.

Return Value: This method returns an integer value that specifies the amount of free system memory in bytes.

Example 1: The below example illustrates the use of os.freemem() method in Node.js:

javascript

// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// os.freemem() method
 
// Allocating os module
const os = require('os');
 
// Printing os.freemem() value
console.log(os.freemem());

Output:

4158910464

Example 2: The below example illustrates the use of os.freemem() method in Node.js:

javascript

// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// os.freemem() method
 
// Allocating os module
const os = require('os');
 
// Printing os.freemem() value
const free_memory = os.freemem();
const free_mem_in_kb = free_memory / 1024;
const free_mem_in_mb = free_mem_in_kb / 1024;
const free_mem_in_gb = free_mem_in_mb / 1024;
 
free_mem_in_kb = Math.floor(free_mem_in_kb);
free_mem_in_mb = Math.floor(free_mem_in_mb);
free_mem_in_gb = Math.floor(free_mem_in_gb);
 
free_mem_in_mb = free_mem_in_mb % 1024;
free_mem_in_kb = free_mem_in_kb % 1024;
free_memory = free_memory % 1024;
 
console.log("Free memory: " + free_mem_in_gb + "GB "
    + free_mem_in_mb + "MB " + free_mem_in_kb
    + "KB and " + free_memory + "Bytes");
