Description : Zswap-cli is a command-line tool to control zswap Linux kernel module
: options.
:
: Zswap is a compressed cache for swap pages. It takes pages that are in the
: process of being swapped out to disk and tries to compress them into a
: RAM-based memory pool with dynamic allocation.
:
: It trades CPU cycles for a significant performance boost since reading from
: a compressed cache is much faster than reading from a swap device.
