+
+ <para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
+ <filename>.swap</filename> encodes information about a
+ swap device or file for memory paging controlled and
+ supervised by systemd.</para>
+
+ <para>This man page lists the configuration options
+ specific to this unit type. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for the common options of all unit configuration
+ files. The common configuration items are configured
+ in the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections. The swap
+ specific configuration options are configured in the
+ [Swap] section.</para>
+
+ <para>Swap units must be named after the devices they
+ control. Example: the swap device
+ <filename>/dev/sda5</filename> must be configured in a
+ unit file <filename>dev-sda5.swap</filename>. For
+ details about the escaping logic used to convert a
+ file system path to a unit name see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title><filename>fstab</filename></title>
+
+ <para>Swap units may either be configured via unit
+ files, or via <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details).</para>
+
+ <para>If a swap device or file is configured in both
+ <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> and a unit file the
+ configuration in the latter takes precedence.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Options</title>
+
+ <para>Swap files must include a [Swap] section, which
+ carries information about the swap device it
+ supervises. The options specific to the [Swap] section
+ of swap units are the following:</para>
+
+ <variablelist>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>What=</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>Takes an absolute path
+ of a device node or file to use for
+ paging. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>swapon</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details. If this refers to a
+ device node a dependency on the
+ respective device unit is
+ automatically created. (See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.device</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information.) If this refers
+ to a file a dependency on the
+ respective mount unit is automatically
+ created. (See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for more information.) This option is
+ mandatory.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>

+ setting is optional.</para></listitem>
