Hi all,

On a gnu/linux system, sysinfo()(3) and free(1) return diff result(i don't
think printf() with %u format caused this, but not sure):
/* sysinfo() result */
loads: 65536 66144 65824  totalram: 965817  freeram: 124591  sharedram:
247432  bufferram: 68788  totalswap: 524110  freeswap: 524110

# free result
total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       3863268    3341292     521976     989728     275152    1523100
-/+ buffers/cache:    1543040    2320228
Swap:      2096440          0    2096440

and how to convert load average value 65536 to 1.** format?


TIA

hard to say, without the source code, but
(1) did you take the trouble to have a look at the man-page
(2) did you take into account that sysinfo
.. Since Linux 2.3.23(i386), 2.3.48 (all architectures)
the structure is
struct sysinfo {
..
unsigned long totalram;
..
unsigned int mem_unit;
..
and the sizes are given as multiples of
mem_unit bytes. ...
(according to man sysinfo)

Perhaps this can be a start towards the explanation.
