>Description:
The manpage for swapctl(8) discusses requirement of a path when using the -a option. This path is actually a "node" as described in the manpage for mount(8). Use of the word "path" is misleading.
Likewise, it should be mentioned that use of swapctl(8)'s -a option does not require a corresponding entry in /etc/fstab.
