🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Enables a dax device in devdax mode. that's the whole vibe. you point at a devdax device, it gets enabled, done ✅

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -r, --region= — Restrict the operation to devices belonging to the specified region(s). so 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. basically: robots get raw integers, humans get units 🌈
• -v, --verbose — Emit more debug messages. lowkey the "tell me everything" button 🔍
