NAME
       checkswap - check for the presence of a swapdisk

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/etc/checkswap [options]

DESCRIPTION
       This  command  determines  whether  or not a swapdisk is present in the
       system.	A swapdisk is defined as a disk with a valid label whose first
       8  characters  are  "swapdisk".	 The  remainder	 of  the disk label is
       irrelevant (for example, a disk whose label  is	"swapdisk2"  would  be
       considered  a swapdisk).	 The results of are returned via an exit code.
       The possible exit codes are as follows:

	    FSR_NONE	   0	/* disk not present */
	    FSR_NOLABEL	   1	/* disk present, no valid label */
	    FSR_LABEL	   2	/* disk present, valid label, not swapdisk */
	    FSR_SWAPDISK   3	/* present, label, swapdisk */
	    FSR_ERROR	   -1	/* invalid argument */

       Options:

       -v     Normally, the results of checkswap are via exit code  only.   If
	      the  -v  flag  is	 present, verbose mode is used; all exit codes
	      will be reported via standard output as well as via exit code.

       -f     When present, indicates that the next argument is the  raw  disk
	      device to be checked.  The default is /dev/rsd0a.
