sorry for the late reply, i've been afk for the last week or two, and
i don't think anyone else here seems to have much to say about
check_swap it seems.

my guess is that this usage information is outdated, and that swap -s is
not executed at all, because iirc the solaris check_swap heavily (or
perhaps exclusively) favors usage of the swapctl library routines
instead of executing the cmdline program.
