DESCRIPTION

19       ndctl is utility for managing the "libnvdimm" kernel subsystem. The
20       "libnvdimm" subsystem defines a kernel device model and control message
21       interface for platform NVDIMM resources like those defined by the ACPI
22       6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table). Operations supported by the
23       tool include, provisioning capacity (namespaces), as well as
24       enumerating/enabling/disabling the devices (dimms, regions, namespaces)
25       associated with an NVDIMM bus.
