+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Partition the device into volatile and persistent capacity. The change
+in partitioning will become the “next” configuration, to become active
+on the next device reset.
+
+Use "cxl list -m <memdev> -I" to examine the partitioning capabilities
+of a device. A partition_alignment_bytes value of zero means there are
+no partitionable bytes available and therefore the partitions cannot be
+changed.
+
+Using this command to change the size of the persistent capacity shall
+result in the loss of data stored.

+	Size in bytes of the volatile partition requested.
+
+	Size must align to the devices partition_alignment_bytes.
+	Use 'cxl list -m <memdev> -I' to find partition_alignment_bytes.
+
+	Size must be less than or equal to the device's partitionable bytes.
+	Calculate partitionable bytes by subracting the volatile_only_bytes,
+	and the persistent_only_bytes, from the total_bytes.
+	Use 'cxl list -m <memdev> -I' to find the above mentioned_byte values.
+
+-v::
+	Turn on verbose debug messages in the library (if libcxl was built with
+	logging and debug enabled).
