You have to be root to poke around. In the good ole days of Unix, the `ps' command actually opened /dev/kmem and looked at the bytes directly.

Could I ask you to expand on your two words a little bit by using the info in the man page in a concrete way, e.g show me how to access physical memory at address 0x200 to 0x205.
