MOUNT_SWAPFS(8)MOUNT_SWAPFS(8)NAME
mount_swapfs - mount swapfs filesystem (internal command)
SYNOPSIS
/usr/etc/mount_swapfs backfile frontfile swapfs opts
DESCRIPTION
mount_swapfs is a command invoked by mount(8) to mount the swapfs
filesystem. The swapfs filesystem is used for optimizing swap
performance and disk usage. mount_swapfs is not intended to be
launched directly. Instead, you can invoke this command through
mount(8) by using the "-t swapfs" option. backfile is the name of the
backing store which the swapfs filesystem will write into. frontfile
is the name of the mount point where the swapfs filesystem will be
mounted. The swapfs only contains one file, and it will appear at the
named mount point. swapfs is literally the characters in "swapfs".
opts are the mount options passed from mount(8). They are ignored by
mount_swapfs.
