NAME

/proc/pid/statm - memory usage information  

DESCRIPTION

/proc/pid/statm
Provides information about memory usage, measured in pages. The columns are:
size (1) total program size
           (same as VmSize in /proc/pid/status) resident (2) resident set size
           (inaccurate; same as VmRSS in /proc/pid/status) shared (3) number of resident shared pages
           (i.e., backed by a file)
           (inaccurate; same as RssFile+RssShmem in
           /proc/pid/status) text (4) text (code) lib (5) library (unused since Linux 2.6; always 0) data (6) data + stack dt (7) dirty pages (unused since Linux 2.6; always 0)
Some of these values are inaccurate because of a kernel-internal scalability optimization. If accurate values are required, use /proc/pid/smaps or /proc/pid/smaps_rollup instead, which are much slower but provide accurate, detailed information.
