.SH INPUT PARAMETERS
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBfmt_type\fP: An enum indicating how to format the returned ompi_bound and current_binding strings. OMPI_AFFINITY_RSRC_STRING_FMT returns the string as human\-readable resource names, such as “socket 0, core 0”.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBOMPI_AFFINITY_LAYOUT_FMT returns ASCII art representing where this MPI\fP: process is bound relative to the machine resource layout. For example “[. B][. .]” shows the process that called the routine is bound to socket 0, core 1 in a system with 2 sockets, each containing 2 cores.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBSee below for more output examples.\fP:
.UNINDENT
.SH OUTPUT PARAMETERS
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBompi_bound\fP: A prettyprint string describing what processor(s) Open MPI bound this process to, or a string indicating that Open MPI did not bind this process.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBcurrent_binding\fP: A prettyprint string describing what processor(s) this process is currently bound to, or a string indicating that the process is bound to all available processors (and is therefore considered “unbound”).
.IP \(bu 2
\fBexists\fP: A prettyprint string describing the available sockets and sockets on this host.
.UNINDENT
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
Open MPI may bind a process to specific sockets and/or cores at process
launch time. This non\-standard Open MPI function call returns
prettyprint information about three things:
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B Where Open MPI bound this process.
The string returned in \fBompi_bound\fP will either indicate that Open
MPI did not bind this process to anything, or it will contain a
prettyprint description of the processor(s) to which Open MPI bound
this process.
.TP
.B Where this process is currently bound.
Regardless of whether Open MPI bound this process or not, another
entity may have bound it. The string returned in \fBcurrent_binding\fP
will indicate what the \fIcurrent\fP binding is of this process,
regardless of what Open MPI may have done earlier. The string
returned will either indicate that the process is unbound (meaning
that it is bound to all available processors) or it will contain a
prettyprint description of the sockets and cores to which the process
is currently bound.
.TP
.B What processors exist.
As a convenience to the user, the \fBexists\fP string will contain a
prettyprint description of the sockets and cores that this process
can see (which is \fIusually\fP all processors in the system).
