Detailed Description

       Be sure to see the figure in Terms and Definitions that shows a complete topology tree, including depths,
       child/sibling/cousin relationships, and an example of an asymmetric topology where one package has fewer
       caches than its peers.

Function Documentation

   hwloc_obj_type_t hwloc_get_depth_type (hwloc_topology_t topology, int depth)
       Returns the type of objects at depth depth. depth should between 0 and hwloc_topology_get_depth()-1, or a
       virtual depth such as HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_NUMANODE.

       Returns
           (hwloc_obj_type_t)-1 if depth depth does not exist.

   int hwloc_get_memory_parents_depth (hwloc_topology_t topology)
       Return  the  depth  of  parents  where  memory objects are attached. Memory objects have virtual negative
       depths because they are not part of the main CPU-side hierarchy of objects.  This  depth  should  not  be
       compared with other level depths.

       If all Memory objects are attached to Normal parents at the same depth, this parent depth may be compared
       to other as usual, for instance for knowing whether NUMA nodes is attached above or below Packages.

       Returns
           The  depth  of  Normal  parents  of all memory children if all these parents have the same depth. For
           instance the depth of the Package level if all NUMA nodes are attached to Package objects.

           HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_MULTIPLE if Normal parents of all memory children do not have the  same  depth.  For
           instance if some NUMA nodes are attached to Packages while others are attached to Groups.

   unsigned hwloc_get_nbobjs_by_depth (hwloc_topology_t topology, int depth)
       Returns the width of level at depth depth.

   static int hwloc_get_nbobjs_by_type (hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_obj_type_t type) [inline],  [static]
       Returns  the  width  of  level  type type. If no object for that type exists, 0 is returned. If there are
       several levels with objects of that type, -1 is returned.

   static hwloc_obj_t hwloc_get_next_obj_by_depth  (hwloc_topology_t  topology,  int  depth,  hwloc_obj_t  prev)
       [inline],  [static]
       Returns the next object at depth depth. If prev is NULL, return the first object at depth depth.

   static  hwloc_obj_t hwloc_get_next_obj_by_type (hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_obj_type_t type, hwloc_obj_t
       prev) [inline],  [static]
       Returns the next object of type type. If prev is NULL, return the first object at type type. If there are
       multiple  or  no   depth   for   given   type,   return   NULL   and   let   the   caller   fallback   to
       hwloc_get_next_obj_by_depth().

   hwloc_obj_t hwloc_get_obj_by_depth (hwloc_topology_t topology, int depth, unsigned idx)
       Returns the topology object at logical index idx from depth depth.

   static  hwloc_obj_t  hwloc_get_obj_by_type  (hwloc_topology_t  topology, hwloc_obj_type_t type, unsigned idx)
       [inline],  [static]
       Returns the topology object at logical index idx with type type. If no object for that type exists,  NULL
       is  returned.  If  there are several levels with objects of that type (HWLOC_OBJ_GROUP), NULL is returned
       and the caller may fallback to hwloc_get_obj_by_depth().

   static hwloc_obj_t hwloc_get_root_obj (hwloc_topology_t topology) [inline],  [static]
       Returns the top-object of the topology-tree. Its type is HWLOC_OBJ_MACHINE.

   int hwloc_get_type_depth (hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_obj_type_t type)
       Returns the depth of objects of type type. If no object  of  this  type  is  present  on  the  underlying
       architecture,   or   if   the  OS  doesn't  provide  this  kind  of  information,  the  function  returns
       HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_UNKNOWN.

       If type is absent but  a  similar  type  is  acceptable,  see  also  hwloc_get_type_or_below_depth()  and
       hwloc_get_type_or_above_depth().

       If  HWLOC_OBJ_GROUP  is  given,  the  function may return HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_MULTIPLE if multiple levels of
       Groups exist.

       If a NUMA node, I/O or Misc object type is given, the function returns  a  virtual  value  because  these
       objects  are stored in special levels that are not CPU-related. This virtual depth may be passed to other
       hwloc functions such as hwloc_get_obj_by_depth() but it should not be considered as an  actual  depth  by
       the  application. In particular, it should not be compared with any other object depth or with the entire
       topology depth.

       See also
           hwloc_get_memory_parents_depth().

           hwloc_type_sscanf_as_depth() for returning the depth of objects whose type is given as a string.

   static  int  hwloc_get_type_or_above_depth  (hwloc_topology_t  topology,  hwloc_obj_type_t  type)   [inline],
       [static]
       Returns  the  depth  of  objects  of  type  type  or  above.  If no object of this type is present on the
       underlying architecture, the  function  returns  the  depth  of  the  first  'present'  object  typically
       containing type.

       This  function is only meaningful for normal object types. If a memory, I/O or Misc object type is given,
       the corresponding virtual depth is always returned (see hwloc_get_type_depth()).

       May return HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_MULTIPLE for HWLOC_OBJ_GROUP just like hwloc_get_type_depth().

   static  int  hwloc_get_type_or_below_depth  (hwloc_topology_t  topology,  hwloc_obj_type_t  type)   [inline],
       [static]
       Returns  the  depth  of  objects  of  type  type  or  below.  If no object of this type is present on the
       underlying architecture, the function returns the depth of the first  'present'  object  typically  found
       inside type.

       This  function is only meaningful for normal object types. If a memory, I/O or Misc object type is given,
       the corresponding virtual depth is always returned (see hwloc_get_type_depth()).

       May return HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_MULTIPLE for HWLOC_OBJ_GROUP just like hwloc_get_type_depth().

   int hwloc_topology_get_depth (hwloc_topology_t restrict topology)
       Get the depth of the hierarchical tree of objects. This is the depth of HWLOC_OBJ_PU objects plus one.

       Note
           NUMA nodes, I/O and Misc objects are ignored when computing the depth of the tree (they are placed on
           special levels).
