RETURN DATA

62       The default behavior is to return the default attributes listed below;
63       the options can be used to expand or restrict the output.
64
65       PlatformConfigSupported
66           (Default) Whether the platform level configuration of PMem modules
67           can be modified with the host software. One of:
68
69           •   0: Changes must be made in the BIOS.

73       Alignment
74           (Default) Capacity alignment requirement for all memory types as
75           reported by the BIOS.
76
77       AllowedVolatileMode
78           (Default) The volatile mode allowed as determined by BIOS setup.
79           One of:
