Thanks Thomas. Looks like I misread that.

I think the pattern as given will show you the size if you are not
already using huge pages. For example, this line matches on my system
when I have /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages == 0:
00007f2932eb6000 145360K rw-s- zero (deleted)
If you are already using huge pages, it doesn't match anything,
because the relevant line looks like:
00007f6814e00000 145408K rw-s- anon_hugepage (deleted)
