+

+

+        Reserve huge pages. The size specified is in bytes, with

+
+    -p, --pagesize

+Examples:
+---------
+
+To display current huge page settings:
+    %(argv0)s -s
+
+To a complete setup of with 2 Gigabyte of 1G huge pages:
+    %(argv0)s -p 1G --setup 2G
+
+Equivalent to:
+    %(argv0)s -p 1G -c -u -r 2G -m
+
+To clear existing huge page settings and umount %(mnt)s
+    %(argv0)s -c -u
