seems the -m option isn't available

[Tcll]

on linux I have this command for the genmon xfce plugin: free -m | awk 'FNR>1 && FNR<4 (printf "%s %d / %d MiB\n", $1,$3,$2 )'

which prints part of this nice corner-display on my top-bar:

this is possible since the -m or --mebi option represents mebibytes (1024^2), and can be displayed accurately.

@Tcll I added `-m' option in this commit (https://github.com/NanXiao/free/commit/62e9c181e7f5b38e5dfb923a23d6cacd20928168). Could you try latest code? Thanks!

sadly, I can't at this current moment... during the time it took you to respond, I'd made a decision to move to Void Linux on the machine in question since OpenBSD lacked too much functionality I'd intended to use (from Nemo, to ZFS support)

I'll try OpenBSD again when it's a little more mature, but for now Void seems to be my best option.

perhaps someone else can take over on this issue for now :)

EDIT: also just to note, heres the output from $ free --help:

EDIT2: apparently the help on my Void installation's version is better:
