After typing the above command press A (Capital a). You will see the below output.
1 PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
2021 xyz 20 0 XXXXX XXXX 1664 S 0 0.2 0:00.43 bash
2 PID PPID TIME+ %CPU %MEM PR NI S VIRT SWAP RES UID COMMAND
2021 2019 0:00.43 0 0.2 20 0 S 22132 16m 4952 1000 bash
3 PID %MEM VIRT SWAP RES CODE DATA SHR nFLT nDRT S PR NI %CPU COMMAND
2021 0.2 22132 16m 4952 XXX XXXX X664 1 0 S 20 0 0 bash
4 PID PPID UID USER RUSER TTY TIME+ %CPU %MEM S COMMAND
2021 2019 1000 xyz xyz pts/0 0:00.43 0 0.2 S bash
Above you can see the swap space.
