This patch imports the unmodified current version of NetBSD libc. The NetBSD includes are in /nbsd_include, while the libc code itself is split between lib/nbsd_libc and common/lib/libc.

.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm swapctl
|
|
.Nd modify swap configuration
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In unistd.h
|
|
.In sys/swap.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn swapctl "int cmd" "void *arg" "int misc"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
function is used to add and delete swap devices, and modify their
|
|
configuration.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa cmd
|
|
parameter specifies the operation to be performed.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa misc
|
|
parameters have different meanings, depending on the
|
|
.Fa cmd
|
|
parameter.
|
|
.Bl -enum -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa cmd
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv SWAP_NSWAP ,
|
|
the current number of swap devices in the system is returned.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa misc
|
|
parameters are ignored.
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa cmd
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv SWAP_STATS ,
|
|
the current statistics for swap devices are returned in the
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
parameter.
|
|
No more than
|
|
.Fa misc
|
|
swap devices are returned.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
parameter should point to an array of at least
|
|
.Fa misc
|
|
struct swapent structures:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct swapent {
|
|
dev_t se_dev; /* device id */
|
|
int se_flags; /* entry flags */
|
|
int se_nblks; /* total blocks */
|
|
int se_inuse; /* blocks in use */
|
|
int se_priority; /* priority */
|
|
char se_path[PATH_MAX+1]; /* path to entry */
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The flags are defined as
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
SWF_INUSE in use: we have swapped here
|
|
SWF_ENABLE enabled: we can swap here
|
|
SWF_BUSY busy: I/O happening here
|
|
SWF_FAKE fake: still being built
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa cmd
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv SWAP_ON ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
parameter is used as a pathname of a file to enable swapping to.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa misc
|
|
parameter is used to set the priority of this swap device.
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa cmd
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv SWAP_OFF ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
parameter is used as the pathname of a file to disable swapping from.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa misc
|
|
parameter is ignored.
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa cmd
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv SWAP_CTL ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa misc
|
|
parameters have the same function as for the
|
|
.Dv SWAP_ON
|
|
case, except that they change the priority of a currently enabled swap device.
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa cmd
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv SWAP_DUMPDEV ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
parameter is used as the pathname of a device to use as the dump device,
|
|
should the system panic.
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa cmd
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv SWAP_GETDUMPDEV ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
parameter points to a dev_t, which is filled in by the current dump device.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When swapping is enabled on a block device, the first portion of the disk is
|
|
left unused to prevent any disklabel present from being overwritten.
|
|
This space is allocated from the swap device when the
|
|
.Dv SWAP_ON
|
|
command is used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The priority of a swap device can be used to fill faster swap devices before
|
|
slower ones.
|
|
A priority of 0 is the highest, with larger numbers having lower priority.
|
|
For a fuller discussion on swap priority, see the
|
|
.Sx SWAP PRIORITY
|
|
section in
|
|
.Xr swapctl 8 .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fa cmd
|
|
parameter is
|
|
.Dv SWAP_NSWAP
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv SWAP_STATS ,
|
|
.Fn swapctl
|
|
returns the number of swap devices, if successful.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv SWAP_NSWAP
|
|
command is always successful.
|
|
Otherwise it returns 0 on success and \-1
|
|
on failure, setting the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Fn swapctl
|
|
succeeds unless:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
|
|
A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG

|

|
|
.Brq Dv PATH_MAX
|
|
characters.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOENT
|
|
The named device does not exist.
|
|
For the
|
|
.Dv SWAP_CTL
|
|
command, the named device is not currently enabled for swapping.
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
|
|
Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.
|
|
.It Bq Er ELOOP
|
|
Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
The caller is not the super-user.
|
|
.It Bq Er EBUSY
|
|
The device specified by
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
has already been made available for swapping.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The device configured by
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
has no associated size, or the
|
|
.Fa cmd
|
|
was unknown.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENXIO
|
|
The major device number of
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
is out of range (this indicates no device driver exists
|
|
for the associated hardware).
|
|
.It Bq Er ENXIO
|
|
The block device specified by
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
is not marked as a swap partition in the disklabel.
|
|
.It Bq Er EIO
|
|
An I/O error occurred while opening the swap device.
|
|

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn swapctl
|
|
function call appeared in
|
|
.Nx 1.3 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa se_path
|
|
member was added to
|
|
.Va struct swapent
|
|
in
|
|
.Nx 1.4 ,
|
|
when the header file was also moved from
|
|
.In vm/vm_swap.h
|
|
to its current location in
|
|
.In sys/swap.h .
|
|
.Sh AUTHORS

The current swap system was designed and implemented by
