NAME

6       swap - swap device

DESCRIPTION

9       This file refers to the swap device in use by the system.  It should be
10       linked to the special file for the disk or disk partition on which  the
11       system  swaps.   It is used by programs that wish to read from the swap
12       device without knowing its real name.   The  script  /dev/MAKEDEV.local
13       normally is edited by the system builder to set /dev/swap up correctly.
