This program comes with absolutely no warranty.
Use it at your own risk.
Refer to the official kernel docs, ArchWiki and/or other reputable sources for information regarding virtual memory configuration, zRAM, zswap, and swap in general.
Most users should be served by the default config.
Advanced users will probably want to tweak a thing or two.

Note: One can set disksize instead of comp_ratio and mem_percent. It supports suffixes, as per the official kernel doc (e.g., disksize=1M, disksize=2G).
Run zsm or zram-swap-manager for help.

- On some Android systems, one may want to delay initialization to ensure defaults and/or third party tweaks are overridden. This can be done by adding `sleep 90` or a more elaborate logic to config.
- To disable swap on boot, add "swap_off; exit" to config, without quotes.
- To skip applying settings on boot add exit to config.
