Thank you so much for the reply.
Can you please get me the source code which is using swap -s command?
Regards,
Siva

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my guess is that this usage information is outdated, and that swap -s is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.
