Apparently /sbin/swapon is the traditional BSD tool to add swap to a
system, but would it be breaking sacred tradition to merge swapon and
the future swapoff into one "swap" management utility? The unified
utility could do swapon tasks if linked to the name "swapon" and
swapoff tasks if its named "swapoff".
