One stylistic note:
Historically, unix systems have, for the most part, used
single_case_underscore_separated_identifiers, not
MixedCaseMashedTogetherIdentifiers. (I believe that this is one of
the things which was inherited from Multics, which also used those
sorts of identifiers extensively).
I'd use names which look like:
mem_total_bytes
mem_free_bytes
etc.
instead of MemTotalBytes
