Virtual Memory: What does VmRSS actually stand for in English

I'm wondering (linux google turns up lots of kernel discusssion lists that don't explain)?

Does anyone know what VmRSS actually stand for in words? Virtual memory Resident? S? S?

Code:

Fri Jun 04 02:17 PM root@uilleann ~ # cat /proc/self/status

CapInh: 0000000000000000
CapPrm: 00000000fffffeff
CapEff: 00000000fffffeff

I am also curious about the last entries with all the numbers. Would anyone have any pointers to explanations?

TIA

VMRss: Resident Set currently in physical memory including Code, Data, Stack - from http://www.mozilla.org/projects/foot...int-guide.html

Is the best result that Google can give me.
