• Source and binary download

Issues

• Need to block signals when called with -L (Resolved)

• Need to kill or continue target process when controlling process dies or provide bug ID for this

• Need to update man page to say that -L may get different total memory size than without -L because -L option only counts pages that are mapped.  Should -u option be reintroduced so you can tell whether the -L output jives with output given without -L? (Resolved to always print all pages and mark unmapped pages as '-')

• PSARC case says that round to pages when -L and round to segments without -L but man page says something different

• pmap -A takes <start addr>,<end addr> while pmadvise takes <start addr>:<length>.  Does it matter whether they use same syntax or not?
