+# NAME #
+
+**daxio** - Perform I/O on Device DAX devices or zero a Device DAX device
+
+# SYNOPSIS #
+
+```
+$ daxio [<options>]
+```
+
+# DESCRIPTION #
+
+The daxio utility performs I/O on Device DAX devices or zero
+a Device DAX device.  Since the standard I/O APIs (read/write) cannot be used
+with Device DAX, data transfer is performed on a memory-mapped device.
+The **daxio** may be used to dump Device DAX data to a file, restore data from
+a backup copy, move/copy data to another device or to erase data from
+a device.
+
+There must be at least one Device DAX device involved either as the input
+or output.  If input or output is not specified, it will default to stdin
+or stdout respectively.
+
+No length specified will default to input file/device length or to the
+output file/device length, if input is a special char file or stdin.
+
+For a Device DAX device, **daxio** will attempt to clear bad blocks within
+the range of writes before performing the I/O (it can be turned off using
+the '--clear-bad-blocks=no' option).
+
+# OPTIONS #
+
+`-i, --input`
+Input device or file to read from.
+
+`-o, --output`
+Output device or file to write to.
+
+`-z, --zero`
+Zero the output device for *len* size, or the entire device if no
+length was provided.  The output device must be a Device DAX device.
+
+`-b, --clear-bad-blocks=<yes|no>`
+Clear bad blocks within the range of writes before performing the I/O
+(default: yes).
+
+`-l, --len`
+The length in bytes to perform the I/O.  To make passing in size easier
+for kibi, mebi, gibi, and tebi bytes, *len* may include unit suffix.
+The *len* format must be compliant with the format specified in IEC 80000-13,
+IEEE 1541 or the Metric Interchange Format.  These standards accept SI units
+with obligatory B - kB, MB, GB, ... (multiplier by 1000) suffixes,
+and IEC units with optional "iB" - KiB, MiB, GiB, ..., K, M, G, ...
+(multiplier by 1024) suffixes.
+
+`-s, --seek`
+The number of bytes to skip over on the output before performing a write.
+The same suffixes are accepted as for *len*.
+
+`-k, --skip`
+The number of bytes to skip over on the input before performing a read.
+The same suffixes are accepted as for *len*.
+
+`-V, --version`
+
+Prints the version of **daxio**.
+
+`-h, --help`
+
+Prints synopsis and list of options.
+
+# EXAMPLE #
+
+```

+# daxio --input=/dev/dax1.0 --output=/home/myfile --len=2M --seek=4096
+
+# cat /dev/zero | daxio --output=/dev/dax1.0
+
+# daxio --input=/dev/zero --output=/dev/dax1.0 --skip=4096
