SWAP(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual SWAP(4)
NAME
swap - swap device
DESCRIPTION
This file refers to the swap device in use by the system. It should be linked to the special file for the disk or disk partition on which
the system swaps. It is used by programs that wish to read from the swap device without knowing its real name. The script
/dev/MAKEDEV.local normally is edited by the system builder to set /dev/swap up correctly.
FILES
