I have put together a draft man page for mmc-utils. The contents are
from mmc-utils help documents and edited for brevity. The point is not
to replace the existing docmentation, but to serve as a quick reference.

+.SH "RPMB COMMANDS"
+The RPMB partition on the eMMC devices is a special area used for storing cryptographically safe information signed by a
+special secret key.
+.br
+To write and read records from this special area, authentication is needed.
+.br
+The RPMB area is *only* and *exclusively* accessed using ioctl()s from user-space.
+.br
+RPMB commands are send using the mmc multi-ioctl, thus ensures that the atomic nature of the rpmb access operation.
+.br
+The rpmb device given as a parameter to the rpmb commands is not a block device but a char device.
+.br
+This was done to help the mmc driver to account for some of the rpmb peculiarities.
