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 lib-
       hugetlbfs 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
