regarding VRT column of top command's output on linux


In the man pages of top command, it is given that VRT column shows memory consumption in kb(kilo bits). When i am running my application in linux, memory consumed is shown as 157m. Does this 157m mean 157 mega bytes or 157 mega bits? Any clarifiction is appreciated.

It's in MegaBytes. Put the output from your top next to the output from ps aux.

> ps aux
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root         1  0.0  0.0    780    72 ?        S    Jun26   0:09 init [3]
mysql    28670  2.1 42.1 2733944 1708028 ?     Sl   Sep24 1910:21 /usr/sbin/mysqld 

>top
