.SYNOPSIS Get the current memory usage on the local system. .DESCRIPTION Use WMI/CIM and the Windows Performance counters to retrieve the current memory usage on the local system. - Total Installed physical memory on the system excluding the hardware reserved memory part. - Used Memory currently in use by a process or the system. - Free Size of the free and zeroed memory. This memory does not contain cached data, it is immediately available for allocation. - Cache This memory contains cached data and code that is not actively in use. It is immediately available for allocation. - Available The summary of free and cached memory. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> memory Use the alias of Measure-Memory to show the current memory usage. #> function Measure-Memory { [CmdletBinding()] [Alias('memory')] param ( # Flag to continue showing the memory every second.
