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
