  Description     : Scripts for managing and monitoring zram usage

zram is a linux kernel feature that allows you to store compressed
files to ram disk.
.
It's useful in cases where you have little RAM and can't swap to disk,
this allows you to set up compressed swap space in RAM.
.
zram-tools also plans to expand on use cases that might be good for
zram, such as setting up a compressed ramdisk for tmp or buildspace.
