Hi, Martin.

Thank you for the hint.
But I'm not sure that I understanding you right.
I'm not a kernel hacker, just C-programmer with ability to read 
documentation. :-)
Do the "memory map" about you told is some C-struct I can deal with and 
which can be accessed by some system call, or that task ("copy the 
memory map") can be achieved by some userland utility like "ipcs" or 
"vmstat -m".

I already have tried to understand which memory(in Shared Memory) and 
how Oracle uses but don't know how to make it ever on "macro" level.
This is little different problem, but while we are here.

"ipcs -m" is always showing only one piece of memory like that:

Shared Memory:
T           ID          KEY MODE        OWNER    GROUP
m       131072   -976851172 --rw-rw----   oracle   oracle

I'm doubt that Oracle uses only this one.
I'm ever don't know how to detect size of memory used by Oracle (from 
operation system point of view, oracle has it's own "show sga" command).

"ipcs -M" give me only min/max limits.
"vmstat -m" don't contains a mention about oracle.

Definitely I'm missing something obvious, will be glad to hear what 
exactly. :-)

Thanks.
Valery.
