=head1 NAME

Win32::MemoryInfo - Memory information on Win32 systems

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Win32::MemoryInfo;

    my %mHash;
	if (Win32::MemoryInfo::MemoryStatus(%mHash))
	{
	 ...process results...
	}
	 
	To get specific values: 
    my %mHash = (TotalPhys => 0, AvailPhys => 0);
	if (Win32::MemoryInfo::MemoryStatus(%mHash))
	{
	 ...mHash contains only TotalPhys and AvailPhys values...
	}
	
    Change the default return value:
	Win32::MemoryInfo::MemoryStatus(%mHash,"MB");

=head1 ABSTRACT

With this module you can get total/free memory on Win32 systems,
including installed RAM (physical memory) and page file. 

The current version of Win32::MemoryInfo is available at:

  [nowhere yet]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=over 4

Module provides one function:

=item MemoryStatus

B<MemoryStatus>(%mHash,[$format]);

   %mHash                      - The hash that will receive the results.
                                 Certain values can be set prior to the
                                 call to retrieve a subset. (See below)
   $format                     - Optional parameter. Used to set the order
                                 of magnitude of the results. (See below)

   Determines the current memory status of a Win32 machine. Populates
   %mHash with the results. Function returns undef on failure.
   
   Values returned through the hash:
   MemLoad                     - Windows NT 3.1 to 4.0: The percentage of
                                 approximately the last 1000 pages of physical
                                 memory that is in use.
                               - Windows 2000: The approximate percentage of
                                 total physical memory that is in use.
   TotalPhys                   - Total amount of physical memory (RAM).
   AvailPhys                   - Available physical memory (RAM).
   TotalPage                   - Allocated size of page (swap) file.
   AvailPage                   - Available page file memory.
   TotalVirtual                - Total physical + maximum page file.
   AvailableVirtual            - Total amount of available memory.
   
   Values returned through the hash can also be specified by setting
   them before the function is called. 
       my %mHash = (TotalPhys => 0);
       Win32::MemoryInfo::MemoryStatus(%mHash);
	 
   Will return only the total physical memory.
   
   MemoryStatus return values in bytes by default. This can be changed with
   the $format parameter. Valid values for $format are:
       B        -  Bytes (default)
       KB       -  Kilobytes
       MB       -  Megabytes
       GB       -  Gigabytes

No functions are exported. 

=head1 INSTALLATION

This module can be used by simply placing it in your /Win32 directory
somewhere in @INC.

Use pod2html to build a html version of this POD.

This module requires
Win32::API module by Aldo Calpini

=head1 CAVEATS

The information returned by the MemoryStatus function is volatile. 
There is no guarantee that two sequential calls to this function
will return the same information. 

On computers with more than 4 GB of memory, the MemoryStatus function
can return incorrect information. Windows 2000 reports a value of -1
to indicate an overflow. Earlier versions of Windows NT report a value
that is the real amount of memory, modulo 4 GB. 

On Intel x86 computers with more than 2 GB and less than 4 GB of memory,
the MemoryStatus function will always return 2 GB for TotalPhys. 
Similarly, if the total available memory is between 2 and 4 GB, AvailPhys
will be rounded down to 2 GB.  

This module has been created and tested in a WinNT 4.0 environment on ActiveState
port of Perl 5.6. It has B<not> been tested on Win95/98 or Windows 2000 yet.
