[PATCH v3] mmc-utils: man 1 mmc-utils

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.RE
+.P
