-V	show version	Displays version of program.

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

No standards apply, but pmap looks an awful lot like a SunOS command.
