``VIRT`` Virtual Memory Size
The total amount of virtual memory used by the
process.
It includes all code, data and shared
process. It includes all code, data and shared
libraries plus pages that have been swapped out
and pages that have been mapped but not used.
Virtual memory is usually much larger than physical
memory, making it possible to run programs for which
the total code plus data size is greater than the amount
of RAM available.
Most of the time, this is not a useful number.
``RES`` Resident Memory Size
