I am trying to figure out what exactly the VM column in PS list means.

Using pslist -m shows the columns, VM, WS, and Priv, among others. I
understand the following:

Private Bytes: Memory allocated that cannot be shared by other processes
and includes both physical and paged memory

Working Set: Amount of process memory currently in RAM

So does that mean that the VM column shows all memory (both
paged/physical) including memory that can be shared?
