Code:

swap -l

Shows you how swap is allocated and used.

Code:

swap -s

Allows you to monitor swap free space, for example.

Be aware that "swap" means slightly different concepts depending on which one of these commands you use.

swap -l -> on disk swap area

swap -s -> virtual memory usage, includes RAM.
