Default Free Swap Memory

Hi Guys,
How can we find the free swap memory for AIX? For
Linux/Solaris I use vmstat and look for the value under swap, which
gives me the amount of free memory in KB's. For AIX I see a column
called avm, but I dont know how would that help to figure out the free
swap memory.

Thanks!

Thanks, When I ran the command I see:
Size %Used
512MB 21

So the current free swap memory should be 512MB * 0.79
