This default behavior may also be modified through environment variables if the application did not modify it already. Setting HWLOC_XMLFILE in the environment enforces the discovery from a XML file as if hwloc_topology_set_xml() had been called. HWLOC_FSROOT switches to reading the topology from the specified Linux filesystem root as if hwloc_topology_set_fsroot() had been called. Finally, HWLOC_THISSYSTEM enforces the return value of hwloc_topology_is_thissystem(). Enumeration Type Documentationenum hwloc_topology_flags_eFlags to be set onto a topology context before load. Flags should be given to hwloc_topology_set_flags(). They may also be returned by hwloc_topology_get_flags().Enumerator
When this flag is not set, PUs that are disallowed are not added to the topology. Parent objects (package, core, cache, etc.) are added only if some of their children are allowed. NUMA nodes are always added but their available memory is set to 0 when disallowed. If the current topology is exported to XML and reimported later, this flag should be set again in the reimported topology so that disallowed resources are reimported as well.
Setting the environment variable HWLOC_THISSYSTEM may also result in the same behavior. This can be used for efficiency reasons to first detect the topology once, save it to an XML file, and quickly reload it later through the XML backend, but still having binding functions actually do bind.
This is useful when the topology is not loaded directly from the local machine (e.g. for performance reason) and it comes with all resources, while the running process is restricted to only parts of the machine. This flag is ignored unless HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_FLAG_IS_THISSYSTEM is also set since the loaded topology must match the underlying machine where restrictions will be gathered from. Setting the environment variable HWLOC_THISSYSTEM_ALLOWED_RESOURCES would result in the same behavior. Function Documentationunsigned long hwloc_topology_get_flags (hwloc_topology_t topology)Get OR'ed flags of a topology. Get the OR'ed set of hwloc_topology_flags_e of a topology.Returns: the flags previously set with
hwloc_topology_set_flags().
const struct hwloc_topology_support* hwloc_topology_get_support (hwloc_topology_t restrict topology)Retrieve the topology support. Each flag indicates whether a feature is supported. If set to 0, the feature is not supported. If set to 1, the feature is supported, but the corresponding call may still fail in some corner cases.These features are also listed by hwloc-info --support void* hwloc_topology_get_userdata (hwloc_topology_t topology)Retrieve the topology-specific userdata pointer. Retrieve the application-given private data pointer that was previously set with hwloc_topology_set_userdata().int hwloc_topology_ignore_all_keep_structure (hwloc_topology_t topology)Ignore all objects that do not bring any structure. Ignore all objects that do not bring any structure: This is equivalent to calling hwloc_topology_ignore_type_keep_structure() for all object types.int hwloc_topology_ignore_type (hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_obj_type_t type)Ignore an object type. Ignore all objects from the given type. The bottom-level type HWLOC_OBJ_PU may not be ignored. The top-level object of the hierarchy will never be ignored, even if this function succeeds. Group objects are always ignored if they do not bring any structure since they are designed to add structure to the topology. I/O objects may not be ignored, topology flags should be used to configure their discovery instead.int hwloc_topology_ignore_type_keep_structure (hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_obj_type_t type)Ignore an object type if it does not bring any structure. Ignore all objects from the given type as long as they do not bring any structure: Each ignored object should have a single children or be the only child of its parent. The bottom-level type HWLOC_OBJ_PU may not be ignored. I/O objects may not be ignored, topology flags should be used to configure their discovery instead.int hwloc_topology_is_thissystem (hwloc_topology_t restrict topology)Does the topology context come from this system?Returns: 1 if this topology context was built using the system
running this program.
0 instead (for instance if using another file-system root, a XML topology file, or a synthetic topology). int hwloc_topology_set_custom (hwloc_topology_t topology)Prepare the topology for custom assembly. The topology then contains a single root object. It must then be built by inserting other topologies with hwloc_custom_insert_topology() or single objects with hwloc_custom_insert_group_object_by_parent(). hwloc_topology_load() must be called to finalize the new topology as usual.Note: If nothing is inserted in the topology,
hwloc_topology_load() will fail with errno set to EINVAL.
The cpuset and nodeset of the root object are NULL because these sets are meaningless when assembling multiple topologies. On success, the custom component replaces the previously enabled component (if any), but the topology is not actually modified until hwloc_topology_load(). int hwloc_topology_set_distance_matrix (hwloc_topology_t restrict topology, hwloc_obj_type_t type, unsigned nbobjs, unsigned * os_index, float * distances)Provide a distance matrix. Provide the matrix of distances between a set of objects of the given type. nbobjs must be at least 2. The set may or may not contain all the existing objects of this type. The objects are specified by their OS/physical index in the os_index array. The distances matrix follows the same order. The distance from object i to object j in the i*nbobjs+j.A single latency matrix may be defined for each type. If another distance matrix already exists for the given type, either because the user specified it or because the OS offers it, it will be replaced by the given one. If nbobjs is 0, os_index is NULL and distances is NULL, the existing distance matrix for the given type is removed. Note: Distance matrices are ignored in multi-node
topologies.
int hwloc_topology_set_flags (hwloc_topology_t topology, unsigned long flags)Set OR'ed flags to non-yet-loaded topology. Set a OR'ed set of hwloc_topology_flags_e onto a topology that was not yet loaded.If this function is called multiple times, the last invokation will erase and replace the set of flags that was previously set. The flags set in a topology may be retrieved with hwloc_topology_get_flags() int hwloc_topology_set_fsroot (hwloc_topology_t restrict topology, const char *restrict fsroot_path)Change the file-system root path when building the topology from sysfs/procfs. On Linux system, use sysfs and procfs files as if they were mounted on the given fsroot_path instead of the main file-system root. Setting the environment variable HWLOC_FSROOT may also result in this behavior. Not using the main file-system root causes hwloc_topology_is_thissystem() to return 0.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 ENOSYS on non-Linux and on Linux
systems that do not support it.
-1 with the appropriate errno if fsroot_path cannot be used. Note: 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 Linux component replaces the previously enabled component (if any), but the topology is not actually modified until hwloc_topology_load(). int hwloc_topology_set_pid (hwloc_topology_t restrict topology, 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. int hwloc_topology_set_synthetic (hwloc_topology_t restrict topology, const char *restrict description)Enable synthetic topology. Gather topology information from the given description, a space-separated string of numbers describing the arity of each level. Each number may be prefixed with a type and a colon to enforce the type of a level. If only some level types are enforced, hwloc will try to choose the other types according to usual topologies, but it may fail and you may have to specify more level types manually. See also the Synthetic topologies.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(). void hwloc_topology_set_userdata (hwloc_topology_t topology, const void * userdata)Set the topology-specific userdata pointer. Each topology may store one application-given private data pointer. It is initialized to NULL. hwloc will never modify it.Use it as you wish, after hwloc_topology_init() and until hwloc_topolog_destroy(). This pointer is not exported to XML. int hwloc_topology_set_xml (hwloc_topology_t restrict topology, 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() 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(). int hwloc_topology_set_xmlbuffer (hwloc_topology_t restrict 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().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.
