        !             5: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             6: This file is the paging and swapping device.
        !             7: It usually refers to an indirect driver
        !             8: that allows swapping to be spread over several disk drives.

        !            12: The indirect driver divides the swap area into interleaved sections
        !            13: of half a megabyte or so;
        !            14: reads may not span the boundary between sections.
        !            15: Since the system doesn't allocate blocks across sections,
        !            16: this probably doesn't matter.
