Ah, it was a shortcut, sorry.

You are right, uswsusp (ie. the userland tools themselves) takes the swap from
the configuration file (or command line), but if one is defined in
/sys/power/resume (or in the kernel command line), you can check it with the
SNAPSHOT_AVAIL_SWAP ioctl.  However, this only works if /dev/snapshot is
open for reading.
