The ndctl , daxctl , and cxl-cli utilities are used to manage the libnvdimm (non-volatile memory device) sub-system in the Linux Kernel. ndctl and daxctl are used to manage persistent memory devices and namespaces and they are required for certain features. cxl-cli is used to manage devices.

Microsoft Windows users should visit the documentation.

The ndctl ,daxctl , and cxl-cli utilities can be installed on Linux using either of the two options:

Persistent Memory Development Kit (PMDK)
Compute Express Link (CXL)
Understand and Deploy Persistent Memory
