Try "pstat -s"
It returns a line like:
4584k allocated + 704k reserved = 5288k used, 50864k available
>From the pstat mna page:
-s Print information about swap space usage:
allocated: The amount of swap space (in bytes)
allocated to private pages.
reserved: The number of swap space bytes not
currently allocated, but claimed by
memory mappings that have not yet
created private pages.
used: The total amount of swap space, in
bytes, that is either allocated or
reserved.
available: The total swap space, in bytes, that
is currently available for future
reservation and allocation.
