addLocalFileSwap - adds swap space from a local filesystem

Showing IRIX 6.5.30 (default release). Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.

NAME
     addLocalFileSwap - adds swap space from a local filesystem

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/privbin/addLocalFileSwap <MB of swap to add> <directory under
     which to add swap>

DESCRIPTION
     addLocalFileSwap creates a file of the specified size in the indicated
     directory. If the directory does not exist, it will be created. The file
     name will be chosen automatically, depending on the name of any other
     swap files in the directory. Once the file is created, the swapctl(2)
     system call is used to add the file for use as swap space.

     This privcmd is not intended for command line use. A better and more
     flexible interface is provided by the swap(1M) command.

FILES
     /etc/fstab    gets entry for new swap element
