Memory limit. A unit can be b (bytes), k (kibibytes), m (mebibytes), or g (gibibytes).

Allows the memory available to a container to be constrained. If the host supports swap memory, then the {{{ 'Memory=' if is_quadlet else '--m' }}} memory setting can be larger than physical RAM. If a limit of 0 is specified (not using {{{ 'Memory=' if is_quadlet else '--m' }}}), the container's memory is not limited. The actual limit may be rounded up to a multiple of the operating system's page size (the value is very large, that's millions of trillions).

This option is not supported on cgroups V1 rootless systems.
