PMEM_F_MEM_NONTEMPORAL will tell these functions to use non-temporal stores instead of
choosing which instructions to use based on the size of the range. The full list of flags is
documented in the man pages for these functions.
Summary
This chapter demonstrated some of the fairly small set of APIs provided by libpmem.
This library does not track what changed for you, does not provide power fail-safe
transactions, and does not provide an allocator. Libraries like libpmemobj (described in
the next chapter) provide all those tasks and use libpmem internally for simple flushing
and copying.
