Enumerator

/HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_COMPONENTS_FLAG_BLACKLIST /

Blacklist the target component from being used.

topology, unsigned long flags, const char *restrict name)/ Prevent a discovery component from being used for a topology. =name=/ is the name of the discovery component that should not be used when loading topology topology. The name is a string such as ’cuda’./

For components with multiple phases, it may also be suffixed with the name of a phase, for instance ’linux:io’.

=flags=/ should be HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_COMPONENTS_FLAG_BLACKLIST./

This may be used to avoid expensive parts of the discovery process. For instance, CUDA-specific discovery may be expensive and unneeded while generic I/O discovery could still be useful.

hwloc_pid_t pid)/ Change which process the topology is viewed from. On some systems, processes may have different views of the machine, for instance the set of allowed CPUs. By default, hwloc exposes the view from the current process. Calling *hwloc_topology_set_pid()*/ permits to make it expose the topology of the machine from the point of view of another process./

Note

=hwloc_pid_t=/ is pid_t on Unix platforms, and HANDLE on native Windows platforms./

-1 is returned and errno is set to ENOSYS on platforms that do not support this feature.

topology, const char *restrict description)/ Enable synthetic topology. Gather topology information from the given =description=/, a space-separated string of <type:number> describing the object type and arity at each level. All types may be omitted (space-separated string of numbers) so that hwloc chooses all types according to usual topologies. See also the Synthetic topologies./

Setting the environment variable HWLOC_SYNTHETIC may also result in this behavior.

If =description=/ was properly parsed and describes a valid topology configuration, this function returns 0. Otherwise -1 is returned and errno is set to EINVAL./

Note that this function does not actually load topology information; it just tells hwloc where to load it from. You’ll still need to invoke *hwloc_topology_load()*/ to actually load the topology information./

Note

For convenience, this backend provides empty binding hooks which just return success.

On success, the synthetic component replaces the previously enabled component (if any), but the topology is not actually modified until *hwloc_topology_load()*/. /

const char *restrict xmlpath)/ Enable XML-file based topology. Gather topology information from the XML file given at =xmlpath=/. Setting the environment variable HWLOC_XMLFILE may also result in this behavior. This file may have been generated earlier with hwloc_topology_export_xml() in hwloc/export.h, or lstopo file.xml./

Note that this function does not actually load topology information; it just tells hwloc where to load it from. You’ll still need to invoke *hwloc_topology_load()*/ to actually load the topology information./

Returns

-1 with errno set to EINVAL on failure to read the XML file.

Note

See also *hwloc_topology_set_userdata_import_callback()*/ for importing application-specific object userdata./

For convenience, this backend provides empty binding hooks which just return success. To have hwloc still actually call OS-specific hooks, the *HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_FLAG_IS_THISSYSTEM*/ has to be set to assert that the loaded file is really the underlying system./

On success, the XML component replaces the previously enabled component (if any), but the topology is not actually modified until *hwloc_topology_load()*/. /

topology, const char *restrict buffer, int size)/ Enable XML based topology using a memory buffer (instead of a file, as with *hwloc_topology_set_xml()*/). Gather topology information from the XML memory buffer given at buffer and of length size. This buffer may have been filled earlier with hwloc_topology_export_xmlbuffer() in hwloc/export.h./

Note that this function does not actually load topology information; it just tells hwloc where to load it from. You’ll still need to invoke *hwloc_topology_load()*/ to actually load the topology information./

Returns

-1 with errno set to EINVAL on failure to read the XML buffer.

Note
