PMIX_INFO(1)

💖 PMIX_INFO 💖

okay bestie, so this is the PMIX_INFO(1) page from the OpenPMIx manual set — it's the little command that spills ALL the tea about your PMIx install. pull up a chair 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

pmix_info — the way that you can display literally everything about your PMIx installation. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pmix_info [options]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so pmix_info gives you the full detailed rundown on your PMIx installation. it's giving detective energy 🔍 and it's genuinely useful for at least three (3) extremely common scenarios:

1. checking your local configuration and seeing how PMIx was actually installed.
2. submitting bug reports / help requests to the PMIx community (see Getting help <>).
3. seeing a list of installed PMIx plugins and querying what MCA parameters they support.

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

pmix_info accepts the following options:

• -h | --help <arg0> — show the help message. if you don't pass the optional argument, you get a generalized help message, basically the same info as what's right here. if you DO pass an argument, you get a more detailed help message for that specific command line option. obsessed with the specificity 💖
• -v | --verbose — turn on debug output.
• -V | --version — print the version and exit. bye 👋
• -a | --all — show all configuration options and MCA parameters.
• --arch — show the architecture that PMIx was compiled on.
• -c | --config — show configuration options
• --hostname — show the hostname that PMIx was configured and built on.
• --internal — show internal MCA parameters. ⚠️ these are not meant to be modified by users, bestie. look, don't touch.
• --param <arg0>:<arg1>,<arg2> — show MCA parameters. the first parameter is the framework (or the keyword “all”); the second parameter is a comma-delimited list of specific component names. if only <arg0> is given, then all components will be reported. iykyk ✨
• --path <type> — show the paths that PMIx was configured with. accepts the following parameters: prefix, bindir, libdir, incdir, pkglibdir, sysconfdir.
• --pretty-print — when used in conjunction with other parameters, the output is displayed in “prettyprint” format (this is the default, so it's lowkey the main character 😌)
• --parsable — when used in conjunction with other parameters, the output is displayed in a machine-parsable format.
• --parseable — a synonym for --parsable. same vibe, different spelling 🎀
• --show-failed — show the components that failed to load, along with the reason why they failed. 💀 rip to those components.
• --selected-only — show only variables from selected components.

returns 0 if successful, non-zero if an error is encountered. that's it, that's the whole thing 🫶
