swaptab(4)                                                swaptab(4)


       NAME
             swaptab - table of swap devices

       DESCRIPTION
             The file /etc/swaptab lists all the swap devices to be
             configured in the system.  When the system is booted, this
             file will be used for configuring swap devices.  The format of
             the file is as follows:

                   device_name start_offset      size

             device_name should be specified by full pathname, start_offset
             (in blocks) specifies the offset from which swap will start,
             and size specifies the size (in blocks) of the device that can
             be used for swapping.  A minus sign (-) can be used in the
             size field to denote that the entire device can be used for
             swapping.
