Hi all,

I am trying to assist a user with performance stats on a SUN server, I
was looking at the TOP display and man pages and don't quite
understand the SIZE field. In the man pages it is quoted as "SIZE is
the total size of the process (text, data, and stack)," I don't
understand what the test, data and stack stands for. Can somebody be
kind enough to explain to this me? Thanking you in advance Adrian
