This other snippet of @code{operating-system} enables the swap file
@file{/swapfile} for hibernation by telling the kernel about the file
(@code{resume} argument) and its offset on disk (@code{resume_offset}
@file{/swapfile} for hibernation by telling the kernel about the
partition containing it
(@code{resume} argument) and its offset on that partition (@code{resume_offset}
argument). The latter value can be found in the output of the command
@command{filefrag -e} as the first number right under the
@code{physical_offset} column header (the second command extracts its
