inthwloc_topology_abi_check(hwloc_topology_ttopology)
Verify that the topology is compatible with the current hwloc library. This is useful when using the same
topology structure (in memory) in different libraries that may use different hwloc installations (for
instance if one library embeds a specific version of hwloc, while another library uses a default system-
wide hwloc installation).
If all libraries/programs use the same hwloc installation, this function always returns success.
Returns
0 on success.
-1 with errno set to EINVAL if incompatible.
Note
If sharing between processes with hwloc_shmem_topology_write(), the relevant check is already
performed inside hwloc_shmem_topology_adopt().
voidhwloc_topology_check(hwloc_topology_ttopology)
Run internal checks on a topology structure. The program aborts if an inconsistency is detected in the
given topology.
Parameterstopology is the topology to be checked
Note
This routine is only useful to developers.
The input topology should have been previously loaded with hwloc_topology_load().
voidhwloc_topology_destroy(hwloc_topology_ttopology)
Terminate and free a topology context.
Parameterstopology is the topology to be freed
inthwloc_topology_dup(hwloc_topology_t*newtopology,hwloc_topology_toldtopology)
Duplicate a topology. The entire topology structure as well as its objects are duplicated into a new one.
This is useful for keeping a backup while modifying a topology.
Returns
0 on success, -1 on error.
Note
Object userdata is not duplicated since hwloc does not know what it point to. The objects of both old
and new topologies will point to the same userdata.
inthwloc_topology_init(hwloc_topology_t*topologyp)
Allocate a topology context.
Parameterstopologyp is assigned a pointer to the new allocated context.
Returns
0 on success, -1 on error.
inthwloc_topology_load(hwloc_topology_ttopology)
Build the actual topology. Build the actual topology once initialized with hwloc_topology_init() and
tuned with TopologyDetectionConfigurationandQuery and ChangingtheSourceofTopologyDiscovery
routines. No other routine may be called earlier using this topology context.
Parameterstopology is the topology to be loaded with objects.
Returns
0 on success, -1 on error.
Note
On failure, the topology is reinitialized. It should be either destroyed with
hwloc_topology_destroy() or configured and loaded again.
This function may be called only once per topology.
The binding of the current thread or process may temporarily change during this call but it will be
restored before it returns.
