💖 STARPU_ENV(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Commands manual — it's starpu_env, and no cap it's about to make your whole setup situation cute. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's go.

---

✨ NAME ✨

starpu_env — set StarPU environment variables

like. that's the whole job. it sets env vars. slay 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

source starpu_env

note the source, bestie — you don't run this, you source it, because it needs to reach into your shell and mess with it. it's giving main character energy, not subprocess energy. 🙈

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Tool to set StarPU environment variables

that's it, that's the vibe. it's a lil tool whose entire purpose in life is setting StarPU environment variables, and honestly? iconic. it knows what it is. periodt. 👑

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

every flag, bestie, not skipping a single one:

• -h, --help — display this help and exit ✨
• -v, --version — output version information and exit 🦋
• -d directory — overwrite StarPU installation directory

---

😭 REPORTING BUGS 😭

found a bug? tell the girlies (and guys, and everyone) at:

<starpu-devel@inria.fr>

and listen — the page itself is haunted by the exact error output it tends to produce, and we're keeping it verbatim because it is, genuinely, a mood:

./starpu_env: 59: test: -a: unexpected operator [Error] '' is not a valid StarPU installation directory ...

then:

... cannot find executable '/starpu_machine_display' ... cannot find file       '/pkgconfig/libstarpu.pc'

and AGAIN, because apparently once wasn't enough (they really said "double it and give it to the next person"):

./starpu_env: 59: test: -a: unexpected operator [Error] '' is not a valid StarPU installation directory ...

then:

... cannot find executable '/starpu_machine_display' ... cannot find file       '/pkgconfig/libstarpu.pc'

⚠️ lowkey important: that [Error] '' is not a valid StarPU installation directory and the cannot find executable / cannot find file lines are the actual symptoms you'll see when things go sideways — like an empty '' where a directory should be. don't come for me, that's literally what the manual says. 🫶
