NAME

       hugeedit - Set default policy for backing text and data with hugepages

SYNOPSIS

       hugeedit binary
       hugeedit [options] binary

DESCRIPTION

       hugectl  runs processes with a specific policy for backing memory regions with hugepages. Ordinarily when
       processes are relinked with libhugetlbfs using the recommended linking method, either hugectl is required
       on  each  execution  or environment variables must be set for each execution. hugeedit can be used to set
       bits in the ELF header that determine if the text or data segments are backed by default without  further
       intervention.

       If  no  arguments  are  specified,  hugeedit will display what the current defaults for each segment in a
       binary are. The available options are

       --text Back the text segments of the binary by default.

       --data Back the data segments of the binary by default

       --disable
              Back all segments using small pages by default
