memory
Package memory provides two methods reporting total physical system memory
accessible to the kernel, and free memory available to the running application.
This package has no external dependency besides the standard library and default operating system tools.
Documentation:
This is useful for dynamic code to minimize thrashing and other contention, similar to the stdlib runtime.NumCPU
See some history of the proposal at https://github.com/golang/go/issues/21816
Example
fmt.Printf("Total system memory: %d\n", memory.TotalMemory())
fmt.Printf("Free memory: %d\n", memory.FreeMemory())
