• -h | --help — shows you the help for this command, no cap ✨
• -d | --debug — turns on verbose output for debugging, so you can see everything happening fr fr 🔍
• -r | --report-uri <value> — reports the Open MPI contact information for the server. ngl this info is required for MPI jobs to actually use the data server, so don't skip it 💖 Three parameter values are supported:
  • '-' — meaning the uri gets printed to stdout
  • '+' — meaning the uri gets printed to stderr
  • "file:path-to-file" — meaning the uri gets printed to the specified file

The "path-to-file" can be either absolute or relative, but it must be in a location where the user has write permissions 👑 Please note that the resulting file must be read-accessible to expected users of the server 🔥
