Package: manpages-dev
Version: 2.62-1
Severity: minor

Quoting swapon(2):

| EINVAL The file path exists, but refers neither to a regular file nor to a 
block device; or, for swapon(),
|        the  indicated  path  does  not contain a valid swap signature; or, 
for swapoff(), path is not cur‐
|        rently a swap area.

That's not true if the file is on a tmpfs.

Demonstration:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/swap bs=1024 count=100000
100000+0 records in
100000+0 records out
102400000 bytes (102 MB) copied, 0.373442 seconds, 274 MB/s
# mkswap /tmp/swap
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 102395 kB
no label, UUID=40138114-e7e5-4999-9d94-0a457e320199
# file /tmp/swap
/tmp/swap: Linux/i386 swap file (new style) 1 (4K pages) size 24999 pages
# chmod 0600 /tmp/swap
# swapon /tmp/swap
swapon: /tmp/swap: Invalid argument
# /usr/bin/stat -f -c %T /tmp
tmpfs

IMHO that fact should be mentioned in the manpage.
