+ndctl-sanitize-dimm(1)
+======================
+
+NAME
+----
+ndctl-sanitize-dimm - Perform a cryptographic destruction of the contents of the given NVDIMM(s).
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'ndctl sanitize-dimm' <nmem0> [<nmem1>..<nmemN>] [<options>]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Search the user key ring for the associated NVDIMM. If not found,
+attempt to load the key blob from the default location. The sanitize
+operation scrambles the data and info-blocks, but it does not touch
+the namespace labels. The user should expect namespaces to revert to raw mode
+after the region is next enabled following the operation. Security is disabled
+for the dimm after operation and ndctl will remove the key from the key ring
+and delete the associated key blob file.
