Any idea how the same can be retrieved on an AIX host? This doesn't seem to work on AIX.
This won't work mainly because of the absence of the "top" program in AIX.

I suggest using the ps command instead which - depending on options chosen - can offer BSD-like as well as SystemV-like functionality in AIX.

A possible start might look like:

Code:
ps -Alo pid,args,vsz

which displays the PID, the complete command to invoke the process and the virtual memory allocated (notice that the units are memory pages, not bytes).

You will perhaps find other (and more detailed) useful information going over the man page of ps and there the chapter about arguments to the -o option.

I hope this helps.

MALLOC_STATS(3) 					     Linux Programmer's Manual						   MALLOC_STATS(3)

NAME
malloc_stats - print memory allocation statistics SYNOPSIS
#include <malloc.h> void malloc_stats(void); DESCRIPTION
The malloc_stats() function prints (on standard error) statistics about memory allocated by malloc(3) and related functions. For each arena (allocation area), this function prints the total amount of memory allocated and the total number of bytes consumed by in-use alloca- tions. (These two values correspond to the arena and uordblks fields retrieved by mallinfo(3).) In addition, the function prints the sum of these two statistics for all arenas, and the maximum number of blocks and bytes that were ever simultaneously allocated using mmap(2). ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7). +---------------+---------------+---------+ |Interface | Attribute | Value | +---------------+---------------+---------+ |malloc_stats() | Thread safety | MT-Safe | +---------------+---------------+---------+ CONFORMING TO
This function is a GNU extension. NOTES
More detailed information about memory allocations in the main arena can be obtained using mallinfo(3). SEE ALSO
