>Description:
After the recent swap modifications in -current, the swapctl(2) interface
superseded the swapon(2) interface. The swapon.2 man page was replaced
by the swapctl.2 page which also describes the deprecated swapon(2)
interface. However any old system upgraded from source will still have
the old swapon.2 man page installed unless explicitly cleaned up by the
administrator.
"man 2 swapon" should direct the user to the new swapctl.2 man page.
>How-To-Repeat:
On a system recently upgraded to -current:
man 2 swapon
