Before this change, swapon(8) implied that -F works as a standalone option, which is not the case and would produce a usage message. This change extends the description of the -F option to mention that -a is required with it.

Created attachment 205047 [details] patch Current documentation implies that -F works as a standalone flag, when in reality it needs to be bundled with -a. Simple patch attached to clarify that -F is for use with -a.
