+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+A number of supported system architectures allow the behaviour of the CPU
+cache to be programmed to behave differently depending on the region being
+written.
+.Pp
+.Nm Memcontrol
+provides an interface to this facility, allowing CPU cache behavior to
+be altered for ranges of system physical memory.
+.Pp
+These ranges are typically power-of-2 aligned and sized, however the specific
+rules governing their layout vary between architectures.  The
+.Nm memcontrol
+program does not attempt to enforce these rules, however the system will
+reject any attempt to set an illegal combination.
+.Bl -tag -width clear
+.It Ar list
+List range slots.
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxx
+.It Op Fl a
+List all range slots, even those that are inactive
+.El
+.It Ar set
+Set memory range attributes.
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxx
+.It Fl b Ar base
+Memory range base address
+.It Fl l Ar length
+Length of memory range in bytes, power of 2
+.It Fl o Ar owner
+Text identifier for this setting (7 char max)
+.It Ar attribute
+Attributes applied to this range; one of
+.Ar uncacheable ,
+.Ar write-combine ,
+.Ar write-through ,
+.Ar write-back ,
+.Ar write-protect
+.El
+.It Ar clear
+Clear memory range attributes. Ranges may be cleared by owner or by
+base/length combination.
+.Pp
+To clear based on ownership:
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxx
+.It Fl o Ar owner
+All ranges with this owner will be cleared
+.El
+.Pp
+To clear based on the base/length combination:
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxx
+.It Fl b Ar base
+Memory range base address
+.It Fl l Ar length
+Length of memory range in bytes, power of 2
+.El
+.Pp
+Base and length must exactly match an existing range.
