Full Discussion: Virtual Memory Usage a Process
Operating Systems HP-UX Virtual Memory Usage a Process Post 302645599 by methyl on Wednesday 23rd of May 2012 07:25:20 PM

But ... in HP-UX you need to invoke the Berkeley unix ps command with this somewhat unusual syntax:
Code:
UNIX95= ps -o vsz -pxxxxx
Where xxxxx is the process ID.

The space character after the equals sign is mandatory. The space character after -p is not mandatory.

	the memory usage of the current application. These functions provide
	information about the full size, resident, shared, code and data used
	by the current process. And provide utility functions to query the
	page size of the current architecture and create human readable string
	representations of bytes and pages used.

       proc_mem_size
	      Total program virtual memory size in pages

	      See function::proc_mem_size(3stap)
	       for details.

       proc_mem_size_pid
	      Total program virtual memory size in pages

	      See function::proc_mem_size_pid(3stap)
