Default How to determine shared memory usage

Hi
I'm trying to determine how the shared memory is being used on a AIX
5.2 box.
I can use "ipcs -m" to give me a list of the shared memory but I cannot
seem to see any info in the output related to size.

IPC status from /dev/mem as of Mon Oct 3 15:26:12 BST 2005
T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP
Shared Memory:
m 131072 0x74000073 --rw------- sybase sybase
m 131073 0x74000071 --rw------- sybase sybase
m 131074 0xffffffff --rw-rw---- root system
m 3 0x74000217 --rw------- sybase sybase
m 4 0x7400033b --rw------- sybase sybase
m 5 0x74000345 --rw------- sybase sybase
m 6 0x7400034f --rw------- sybase sybase


Would anyone have any idea how I do this?

thanks
Mark
