HWLOC-INFO(1) hwloc HWLOC-INFO(1)
NAME
hwloc-info - Show some information about some objects or about a
topology
SYNOPSIS
hwloc-info [ options ]... <object>...
hwloc-info [ options ]...
Note that hwloc(7) provides a detailed explanation of the hwloc system
and of valid <object> formats; it should be read before reading this
man page.
OPTIONS
-i <file>, --input <file>
Read topology from XML file <file> (instead of discovering the
topology on the local machine). If <file> is "-", the standard
input is used. XML support must have been compiled in to hwloc
for this option to be usable.
-i <directory>, --input <directory>
Read topology from the chroot specified by <directory> (instead
of discovering the topology on the local machine). This option
is generally only available on Linux. The chroot was usually
created by gathering another machine topology with hwloc-gather-
topology.
-i <specification>, --input <specification>
Simulate a fake hierarchy (instead of discovering the topology
on the local machine). If <specification> is "node:2 pu:3", the
topology will contain two NUMA nodes with 3 processing units in
each of them. The <specification> string must end with a number
of PUs.
--if <format>, --input-format <format>
Enforce the input in the given format, among xml, fsroot and
synthetic.
-v --verbose
Include additional detail.
-s --silent
Reduce the amount of details to show. A single summary line per
object is displayed.
--ancestors
Display information about the object as well as about all its
ancestors up to the root of the topology.
--ancestor <type>
Only display the object ancestors that match the given type.
-n When outputting object information, prefix each line with the
index of the considered object within the input. For instance,
if three cores were given in input, the output lines will be
prefixed with "0: ", "1: " or "2: ". If --ancestor is also
used, the prefix will be "X.Y: " where X is the index of the
considered object within the input, and Y is the parent index (0
for the object itself, increasing towards the root of the
topology).
--whole-system
Do not consider administration limitations.
--restrict <cpuset>
Restrict the topology to the given cpuset.
--restrict binding
Restrict the topology to the current process binding. This
option requires the use of the actual current machine topology
(or any other topology with --thissystem or with
HWLOC_THISSYSTEM set to 1 in the environment).
--no-icaches
Do not show Instruction caches, only Data and Unified caches are
considered.
--no-io
Do not show any I/O device or bridge. By default, common
devices (GPUs, NICs, block devices, ...) and interesting bridges
are shown.
--no-bridges
Do not show any I/O bridge except hostbridges. By default,
common devices (GPUs, NICs, block devices, ...) and interesting
bridges are shown.
--whole-io
Show all I/O devices and bridges. By default, only common
devices (GPUs, NICs, block devices, ...) and interesting bridges
are shown.
--thissystem
Assume that the selected backend provides the topology for the
system on which we are running. This is useful when using
--restrict binding and loading a custom topology such as an XML
file.
--pid <pid>
Detect topology as seen by process <pid>, i.e. as if process
<pid> did the discovery itself. Note that this can for instance
change the set of allowed processors. Also show this process
current CPU binding by marking the corresponding PUs (in Green
in the graphical output, see the COLORS section below, or by
appending (binding) to the verbose text output). If 0 is given
as pid, the current binding for the lstopo process will be
shown.
-p --physical
Use OS/physical indexes instead of logical indexes for input.
-l --logical
Use logical indexes instead of physical/OS indexes for input
(default).
--version
Report version and exit.
DESCRIPTION
hwloc-info displays information about the specified object. It is
intended to be used with tools such as grep for filtering certain
attribute lines. When no object is specified, hwloc-info prints a
summary of the topology.
Objects may be specified as location tuples, as explained in hwloc(7).
However hexadecimal bitmasks are not accepted since they may correspond
to multiple objects.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that you read the hwloc(7) overview page
before reading this man page. Most of the concepts described in
hwloc(7) directly apply to the hwloc-calc utility.
EXAMPLES
To display information about each package:
$ hwloc-info package:all
Package L#0
logical index = 0
...
To display information about the core whose physical index is 2:
$ utils/hwloc-info -p core:2
Core L#1
logical index = 1
os index = 2
...
