Not precise enough to have a clear answer. Does it have to be zeroed

Hi to all;
I am trying to get the most precise reading I can of all free memory (8-
STABLE).
I am using
/usr/bin/vmstat | grep -a 2 | awk '{print $5}'
But I'm not sure if this reflects ALL free memory.
Would anyone have a more precise place to read free memory from?
Thanks

It *is* a bit complicated, in part because it depends on how you define "free

Works fine under 5.1 - thanx Chris.
However the output is a little confusing, /var/run/dmesg.boot shows this:

That sounds just the ticket, thanx :)
It is listed in the current ports tree, and so presumably does work
under 5.x.

Greetings,
What is the best/easiest way on FreeBSD 5.1 to show the total and free
amount of memory (at any given moment in time)?
I am setting up MRTG and at the moment I am parsing /var/run/dmesg.boot
and the output from `top -b -d 1` to get total and free memory

What do you mean by "free memory"?
