    memory statistics

    is there a header that i can use that will have functions which allow me to get stats on the system memory usage? (i.e how much memory is being used, how much memory is available)?

    There certainly isn't any standard functions for this - it would be OS specific how you go about doing that. So the next step would be to tell us which OS you want it for...

    It should be, but it probably isn't.
