free tells me the amount of swap that is available and the amount that
is currently in use. AFAIK, it doesn't tell me the maximum that has been
used (like a high-water mark). I was hoping to discover some command
that did before I resort to scripting.

I'm not sure, but free actually prints out part of the /proc/meminfo.
There are a lot more information there, like "SwapTotal - SwapFree,
HighTotal, HighFree".

Probably kernel documentation explains exact meaning of these fields,
maybe some of them are what you need.
