swapinfo(1M) swapinfo(1M)

-d Print information about device paging areas only. This modiﬁes the output header appropri-

ately.

-f Print information about ﬁle system paging areas only. This modiﬁes the output header

appropriately.

-n Categorize ﬁle system paging area information into

localfs areas and network areas,

instead of calling them both

fs areas.

-r Print information about reserved paging space only.

-M Print information about memory paging space only.

The

-d, -f,

-n, -r and -M options can be combined. The default is -dfnrM.

-q Quiet mode. Print only a total "Kb AVAIL" value (with the

-m option, Mb AVAIL); that is, the

total paging space available on the system (device, ﬁle system, reserve, or memory paging

space only if

-d, -f

, -r,or -M is speciﬁed), for possible use by programs that want a quick

total. If

-q is speciﬁed, the

-t and -a options are ignored.

-w Print a warning about each device paging area that contains wasted space; that is, any device

paging area whose allocated size is less than its total size. This option is effective only if

-d is

also speciﬁed or true by default.

RETURN VALUE

swapinfo returns 0 if it completes successfully (including if any warnings are issued), or 1 if it reports

any errors.

DIAGNOSTICS

swapinfo prints messages to standard error if it has any problems.

EXAMPLES

List all ﬁle system paging areas with a totals line:

swapinfo -ft

WARNINGS

swapinfo needs kernel access for some information. If the user does not have appropriate privileges for

kernel access, swapinfo will print a warning and assume that the defaults for that information have

not been changed.

Users of

swapinfo must not rely on the exact ﬁeld widths and spacing of its output, as these will vary

depending on the system, the release of HP-UX, and the data to be displayed.

The information in this manual page about paging allocation and other implementation details may

change without warning; users should not rely on the accuracy of this information.
