admswap(1M)                      DG/UX 5.4.2                     admswap(1M)


NAME
       admswap - manage swap areas

SYNOPSIS
       admswap -o add dev-file ...

       admswap -o delete dev-file ...

       admswap -o list [ -qv ] [ dev-file ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       The admswap command is used to manage system swap areas.  The
       argument, dev-file, specifies a block special device file (e.g.
       logical disk).  If dev-file is not an absolute path, it is assumed to
       be the name of a device file in the /dev/dsk directory.

   Operations
       add       Add a swap entry for dev-file to the fstab file and call
                 swapon(1M) to begin using it as a swap area.

       delete    Delete the swap entry for dev-file from the fstab file.
                 Note, however, that dev-file will continue to be used as a
                 swap area until the system is rebooted.

       list      List swap areas to stdout.

   Options
       -q        Quiet. Produce an unformatted listing (i.e. no headers).

       -v        Verbose.  Produce a formatted listing with headers and
                 aligned columns.  This option is enabled by default.

EXAMPLE
       The following command line would be used to add the logical disk
       /dev/dsk/swap2 to fstab and begin using it as a swap area:

         admswap -o add swap2


OUTPUT
       The list operation produces a list of swap areas consisting of a
       header followed by the names of the swap devices each on separate
       lines.  The -q option suppresses the printing of the header.

FILES
       /etc/fstab          file system table

DIAGNOSTICS
   Warnings
       None.

   Errors
       -      dev-file does not reference a valid swap device.
