+is a set of permissions:
+
+ r = read
+ w = write

+ p = private (copy on write)
+
+"offset" is the offset into the mapping, "dev" is the device (major:minor), and
+"inode" is the inode  on that device.  0 indicates that  no inode is associated
+with the memory region, as the case would be with BSS (uninitialized data).
+The "pathname" shows the name associated file for this mapping.  If the mapping
+is not associated with a file:
+
+ [heap]                   = the heap of the program
+ [stack]                  = the stack of the main process

+
+ or if empty, the mapping is anonymous.
+
+
+The /proc/PID/smaps is an extension based on maps, showing the memory
+consumption for each of the process's mappings. For each of mappings there
+is a series of lines such as the following:

+KernelPageSize:        4 kB
+MMUPageSize:           4 kB
+
+The first  of these lines shows  the same information  as is displayed for the
+mapping in /proc/PID/maps.  The remaining lines show  the size of the mapping,
+the amount of the mapping that is currently resident in RAM, the "proportional
+set size” (divide each shared page by the number of processes sharing it), the
+number of clean and dirty shared pages in the mapping, and the number of clean
+and dirty private pages in the mapping.  The "Referenced" indicates the amount
+of memory currently marked as referenced or accessed.
+
+This file is only present if the CONFIG_MMU kernel configuration option is
+enabled.
