Package ndctl

Manage "libnvdimm" subsystem devices (Non-volatile Memory)

https://github.com/pmem/ndctl

Utility library for managing the "libnvdimm" subsystem. The "libnvdimm"
subsystem defines a kernel device model and control message interface for
platform NVDIMM resources like those defined by the ACPI 6+ NFIT (NVDIMM
Firmware Interface Table).

Version: 78

General Commands
