After thinking about this, it makes sense to remove "path" entirely.
The pmap without arguments will show the user named segment as
"[anon]", but with -X argument it will show the full name:
pmap -X
7fa84fcef000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1024 262144 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 [anon_shmem:named
shared anon]
7fa85fcef000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 262144 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 [anon:named anon]
In my opinion this is better to stay consistent with regular anon
memory, and also to minimize the chance to surprise the existing
scripts.
