# Debug

The ipmctl utility provides several debugging features for persistent memory modules. 

For an in-depth explanation for how ipmctl works with the hardware see the [Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory OS Provisioning Specification](https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/634430), which describes all the firmware interface commands used for this operation.
