I have no idea about "shared". ISTR that it is no longer valid and it
always shows "0" on my systems so I've never looked into really. "Swap"
is, of course swap space. Usually you setup a swap partition (or swap
file) to be used as additional virtual memory when real RAM is
exhausted. 'swapon -s' will tell you more about what swap you have
setup on your system. This information is contained in /proc/swaps and
is in the SwapFree and SwapTotal fields of /proc/meminfo.
