+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Swapon
+specifies additional devices on which paging and swapping
+are to take place.
+The system begins by using a single device;
+.I swapon
+must be used to enable others.

+.L "swapon -a"

+.SH SEE ALSO

+.I vswapon
+in
+.IR deprecated (2)
+.SH BUGS
+There is no way to stop paging and swapping on a device.
+It is therefore not possible to make use of devices which may be
+dismounted during system operation.
+.br
+Possible swap devices
+must be listed in a table configured into the system;
+.I swapon
+can only enable devices in the table.
