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.

SEE ALSO
       mount(8), mach_swapon(8)

BUGS
       frontfile must not exist before mounting.
