Not all columns are supported on all systems. If an unsupported column is
specified, \fBlsmem\fP prints the column but does not provide any data for it.

The number of output entries (memory ranges) maybe be influenced by specified
columns. The lsmem command shows larger memory ranges if the blocks in the
range do not distinguish in output columns. For example RANGE maybe be
different if the command output contains column ZONES (lsmem -o +ZONES).

Use the \fB\-\-help\fR option to see the columns description.
