swap space
An area of disk (e.g. a {swap file}) used
to store the state of a process that has been {swap}ped out.
Under a {virtual memory} system, it is the amount of swap
space rather than the amount of {physical memory} which
determines the maximum size of a single process and the
maximum total size of all active processes.
