Hi,
 We have /proc/[pid]/maps or pmap for displaying the memory  mapping for  a
particular process.
 Do we have a way to see the snap shot of what is currently in the memory?(a
total snapshot!)
 (say 0x... to 0x... shared library,
0x... to 0x... process i, etc..)


You can see the contents of PHYSICAL memory using the file /dev/mem.
However, beware it will not get your the Virtual Memory contents
(which is probably more what you want?)
