+        If set to <literal>on</literal>, this parameter causes WAL files to be
+        memory-mapped and used as WAL buffer pages.  The WAL files in pg_wal
+        directory (or the directory given by <command>initdb -X</command>
+        option) should be on <firstterm>persistent memory</firstterm> (PMEM) and
+        the filesystem for those files should support the <firstterm>Direct
+        Access</firstterm> (DAX) feature.  <varname>wal_sync_method</varname>
+        for the primary server is ignored and WAL updates are forced out to
+        PMEM in a more optimal way which avoids calling into the kernel.
+        <varname>min_wal_size</varname> should be multiple of the size of a
+        WAL file, and <varname>wal_buffers</varname> is ignored and set to
+        the equivalent of <varname>min_wal_size</varname>.
