Is memory load bytes a count of bytes or a ratio

[EricGarnier]

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

The article discribes the property as "The physical memory load, in bytes," So it is a number of bytes.

But the texte explains how it is computed by :"MemoryLoadBytes is obtained from reading the MemAvailable field from /proc/meminfo divided by the total physical memory", So it is a ratio, presumably less than one.

But both sentences cannot be true together. And as the property type is long, probably the ratio explanation is plain wrong..
