Is there an equivalent of swapon -s for NetBSD?  I'd like to know
how much of my swap area is used, and to verify that swap is actually
active.  NetBSD's swapon seems to only allow adding swap partitions,
but not the querying of swap status.

man -k swap revealed nothing, that I could tell.

thanks,
dylan
