Summary
Description
.ullTotalPageFileand.ullAvailPageFileinclude both the swap and physical memory so in order to get the correct swap memory values the physical memory size/usage needs to be subtracted.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/sysinfoapi/ns-sysinfoapi-memorystatusex
.ullTotalPageFileis "The current committed memory limit". It mirrors the value of.CommitLimit * .PageSizefromPERFORMANCE_INFORMATION"The current maximum number of pages that can be committed by the system without extending the paging file". I think this confirms the value refers to committed or total system memory including both the pagefile and hardware memory..ullAvailPageFile - .ullAvailPhysalso aligns with the value Windows reports for the page file size in the UI for me.
