Description Jan Görig 2010-05-31 10:35:38 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #586116 +++

Description of problem:
Please add a short description of the columns shown in the 'pmap -x' output.  Some columns are self-explanatory like Address and KBytes, but RSS and Dirty may not be quite as obvious if you're not familiar with Linux virtual memory terminology.

Columns include Address, Kbytes, RSS, Dirty, Mode, and Mapping

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
procps-3.2.7-16.el5

Possible definitions for pmap(1) man page:

Address: start address of map
Kbytes: size of map in kilobytes
RSS: resident set size in kilobytes
Dirty: dirty pages (both shared and private) in kilobytes
Mode: permissions on map: read, write, execute, shared, private (copy on write)
Mapping: file backing the map, or '[ anon ]' for allocated memory, or  '[ stack ]' for the program stack

See proc(5) man page for more details.
