NAME
swapon - specify swapping device
SYNOPSIS
/etc/swapon -a
/etc/swapon name ...
DESCRIPTION
Swapon specifies additional devices on which paging and swapping are to

used to enable others.

BUGS
There is no way to stop paging and swapping on a device. It is there-
fore not possible to make use of devices which may be dismounted during
system operation.
Possible swap devices must be listed in a table configured into the
system; swapon can only enable devices in the table.
