Its the same as 'ps aux' or any other ps option, if you had taken the time to
have read the man page for ps then it explanes;
SIZE Virtual image size; size of text+data+stack.
and a litte further down the page;
The SIZE and RSS fields don't count the page tables and
the task_struct of a proc; this is at least 12k of memory
that is always resident. SIZE is the virtual size of the
proc (code+data+stack).
If you wish to obtain more details of a particular process i suggest you
take a look at the process number in the /proc filesystem.
'man ps'
'man proc'
Will explain far beter than i can.
You could also use a small prgram that Redhat installs, its called
'procinfo'.
