These were reported by `mandoc -T lint` as ERROR: skipping unknown macro When these pages were rendered with `man`, the "unknown macro" meant that the entire line was omitted from the output. Obvious typos in: lib/libsys/swapon.2 lib/libsys/procctl.2 share/man/man9/firmware.9 lib/libcasper/services/cap_net/cap_net.3: 'mode' describes a function argument. lib/libsys/statfs.2: there's no .Tm command ("trademark?"), and .Tn ("tradename") is deprecated, so remove the macro entirely. usr.sbin/mfiutil/mfiutil.8: man was interpreting '/dev/' as a macro (which it didn't recognize). share/man/man4/qat.4: same issue as above, but with '0'. In this case, given the context of the previous line, rewriting as "Value '0'" seemed more appropriate. usr.sbin/mlx5tool/mlx5tool.8: typo in .Xr Signed-off-by: Graham Percival <gperciva@tarsnap.com> Sponsored by: Tarsnap Backup Inc.

|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In vm/vm_param.h
|
|
.In vm/swap_pager.h
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.In unistd.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn swapon "const char *special"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn swapoff "const char *special" "u_int flags"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn swapon
|
|
system call
|
|
makes the block device
|
|
.Fa special
|
|
available to the system for
|
|
allocation for paging and swapping.
|
|
The names of potentially
|
|
available devices are known to the system and defined at system
|
|
configuration time.
|
|
The size of the swap area on
|
|
.Fa special
|
|
is calculated at the time the device is first made available
|
|
for swapping.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn swapoff
|
|
system call disables paging and swapping on the given device.
|
|
All associated swap metadata are deallocated, and the device
|
|
is made available for other purposes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa special
|
|
argument points to the name of the device or file used for swapping.
|
|
The
|
|
.Va flags
|
|
argument takes the following flags:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width SWAPOFF_FORCE
|
|
.It Dv SWAPOFF_FORCE
|
|
Overrides a very conservative check that prevents swapoff
|
|
if the total amount of free memory and remaining swap
|
|
devices space might be unsufficient for the system to continue
|
|
operating.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If an error has occurred, a value of -1 is returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
Both
|
|
.Fn swapon
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn swapoff
|
|
can fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
|
|
A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
|
|
A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters,
|
|
or an entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOENT
|
|
The named device does not exist.
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
|
|
Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELOOP
|
|
Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
The caller is not the super-user.
|
|
.It Bq Er EFAULT
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa special
|
|
argument
|
|
points outside the process's allocated address space.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Additionally,
|
|
.Fn swapon
|
|
can fail for the following reasons:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTBLK
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa special
|
|
argument
|
|
is not a block device.
|
|
.It Bq Er EBUSY
|
|
The device specified by
|
|
.Fa special
|
|
has already
|
|
been made available for swapping
|
|
.It Bq Er ENXIO
|
|
The major device number of
|
|
.Fa special
|
|
is out of range (this indicates no device driver exists
|
|
for the associated hardware).
|
|
.It Bq Er EIO
|
|
An I/O error occurred while opening the swap device.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINTEGRITY
|
|
Corrupted data was detected while reading from the file system to open the
|
|
swap device.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Lastly,
|
|
.Fn swapoff
|
|
can fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The system is not currently swapping to
|
|
.Fa special .
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
|
|
Not enough virtual memory is available to safely disable
|
|
paging and swapping to the given device.
