Nagios check_swap on 11iv3?

Does anyone have any insight in to how the Nagios plugin check_swap gets its swap usage data on an 11iv3 server? It doesn't seem to match the output of swapinfo or top or gpm.

I believe the source code for check_swap is online at http://nagios-plugins.sourcearchive.com/documentation/1.4.13plus-pgit200906171200/check__swap_8c-source.html.
