💜 OPTIONS 💜

• -r, --region= — Restrict the operation to devices belonging to the specified region(s). A device-dax region is a contiguous range of memory that hosts one or more /dev/daxX.Y devices, where X is the region id and Y is the device instance id. iykyk 🌈
• -u, --human — By default the command will output machine-friendly raw-integer data. Instead, with this flag, numbers representing storage size will be formatted as human readable strings with units, other fields are converted to hexadecimal strings. it's giving "make it make sense for humans" 💖
• -v, --verbose — Emit more debug messages. the way that this just tells you everything 🔥
