- All the methods with which I am familiar require read access to
- /dev/kmem. There aren't any unprivileged programs on the distribution
- to get that information.รก Given these restrictions some things to do
- are:
-
- dbx -k /vmunix /dev/mem
- (dbx) print physmem
-
- crash
- > od physmem
-
- wc -c /dev/mem
-
- sizer(8). There isn't a strict option for getting the information,
- but making a configuration file, will get it.
