how to programatically read 'size' on SunOS?

How can the 'size' of a process shown by 'top', be read programatically in ‘C’ on SunOS?

I'm fixing a memory leak in a large (20,000 lines) ‘C’ program on Solaris.

Re: how to programatically read 'size' on SunOS?

Top controls your terminal by using some special terminal characters , thats
for bold the text and highlights it like that ,

If you want to take the process details which has been showned by the top
U better go for ps command ( probably u may use inside the C code too) ,

use the option

Code:

for example 

ps -eo "%p %y %x %c"



since

       %a     args     COMMAND
