swap space

[Jim Pazarena-15]

is there a command which can show the size of the hard drive swap?

A "df" seems to avoid the swap area.

This would be on a live production server.
Thanks.

"swapinfo" or top are the two ways I normally check.

I'm digging the fact that it now accepts "-h" to produce human-readable sizes.

swapinfo didn't always support "-h"

That *is* "expected" behavior.
 
'df' shows utilization of -filesystems-.  'swap' is not filesystem.

The "traditional" means is 'pstat -s'.  On relatively modern systems,
'swapinfo' is an alias.
