Running smem -s uss -r and free commands seems to show discrepancies.
What is the correct account of physical memory usage?

Why is smem showing about 6.89 to 7.89 gigs of memory used, when the
free command is
showing 20.144 gigs used. Who is right?
Is there any CLI command which gets this right? It is discouraging to
have commands report different totals, when you are expecting some
real accounting and some true idea of what is happening with your system.
