What kind of memory usage numbers? There are a lot of different ones — take a look at the man page for 'top', or at all the different views in Activity Monitor. And do you want them for all processes or just your own?

(The general answer is to go look up the source to 'top' in the Darwin open source repo and see how it does it. It's using some low-level system calls that I don't believe are documented otherwise.)
