how to get total/available kernel memory?

NTFSD
1

Is there an API (callable from User Mode) that will return the
total/available Kernel memory? Thanks.

GetPerformanceInfo in psapi.dll, for XP and later. There are also
performance counters queryable via registry APIs or PDH, for downlevel
systems.

Thanks - thats the ticket. I also noticed NtquerySystemInformation. Have
you used that?

Yes, but I would recommend using the documented API instead. It should be
providing all the information you need given your original request, and it
is fully supported, unlike NtQuerySystemInformation.
