An actual but where did my Linux memory go command;
This program (repositories) came in handy while helping someone resolve an problem. Want to see memory usage and shared memory, perhaps sorted by swap?

shell 
smem -s swap -kta
smem --sort swap --abbreviate --totals --autosize
What about on other categories running a --sort?
text 
swap     (amount of swap space consumed ignoring sharing)
command  (process command line)
maps     (total mappings count)
name     (process name)
pid      (process id #)
user     (process owner)
pss      (proportional set size including sharing)
rss      (resident set size ignoring sharing)
uss      (unique set size)
vss      (virtual set size; total virtual memory mapped)
Bonus: A filesystem usage command to catch /tmp/ and tmpfs (temporary file storage) abusers;
shell 
df -h | grep tmpfs
df --human-readable | grep tmpfs

Different words similar meaning? --references is NixOS speak for direct package dependencies. --requisites list all. These work with the nix-store command.

shell 
$ readlink --canonicalize "$(type -P which)"
/nix/store/r78jv9xgxnvsm5vpasf5ldkc28pkri6r-which-2.21/bin/which

$ nix-store --query --references /nix/store/r78jv9xgxnvsm5vpasf5ldkc28pkri6r-which-2.21
/nix/store/4nlgxhb09sdr51nc9hdm8az5b08vzkgx-glibc-2.35-163

which directly depends on glibc. Swap --references to --referrers for paths pointing to which.

On Guix, list/draw dependencies with guix graph.

shell 
guix graph --type=references which
