pageing space vs swap space

Hello,
I would like to know if there is any difference between the pageing space and the swap space.
Thank you in advance.

Not on any unix system that I've seen. Swaping was invented first. So it's called swap space. Paging came along and used the same space. Now it's actually rare to swap. HP-UX can't swap at all. And most other modern os's will be in deep trouble if they start swapping.
