It's never updated, it's not a file! It's just a filesystem interface
to the kernel. When you poll /proc/meminfo, you get the state of the
system *right then*. If the values don't change between polls it means
that the memory configuration hasn't changed.

Standardize. The only difference(!) between Shakespeare and you was the size 
of his idiom list - not the size of his vocabulary.
