.SH NAME
hugeedit \- Set default policy for backing text and data with hugepages
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B hugeedit binary
.br
.B hugeedit [options] binary
.SH DESCRIPTION

\fBhugectl\fP runs processes with a specific policy for backing memory
regions with hugepages. Ordinarily when processes are relinked with
\fBlibhugetlbfs\fP using the recommended linking method, either \fBhugectl\fP
is required on each execution or environment variables must be set for
each execution. \fBhugeedit\fP 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, \fBhugeedit\fP will display what the current
defaults for each segment in a binary are. The available options are

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

.TP
.B --data
Back the data segments of the binary by default

.TP
.B --disable
Back all segments using small pages by default
