This may be invalid:
o: VIRT -- Virtual Image (kb)
The total amount of virtual memory used by the task. It includes all code, data and shared libraries plus pages that have been swapped out and pages that have been mapped but not used.
p: SWAP -- Swapped size (kb)
Memory that is not resident but is present in a task. This is memory that has been swapped out but could include additional non-resident memory. This column is calculated by subtracting physical memory from virtual memory.
But how would you get the used swap space of a process?
