查询使用哪个linux命令

众所周知man命令实现查询linux命令用法的功能，但是如果你不知道使用哪个命令来实现自己的目的时，请根据关键字（英文）来查询使用哪个命令。

在如下目录下执行（关键字used memory"）

/usr/share/man>gunzip -c -r * | less | grep "used memory"

部分输出如下：

/usr/share/man>gunzip -c -r * | less | grep "used memory"
\f3pcp-free\f1 \- report on free and used memory in the system
from the used memory and adds it to the free memory reported.
free \- Display amount of free and used memory in the system
Unused memory (MemFree and SwapFree in /proc/meminfo)

gzip: man1/mergerepo.1: not in gzip format

gzip: man1/modifyrepo.1: not in gzip format
Amount of used memory in kilobytes. This does not take into account memory
Percentage of used memory.
attempts to free unused memory within the userspace AVC, but does not flush any cached access decisions.  Under normal operation, calling this function should not be necessary.

从上面可以看到我要使用的命令是free

在用man free查询具体使用方法。
