Detailed Description
Enumeration Type Documentation
enum hwloc_topology_export_xml_flags_e
Flags for exporting XML topologies. Flags to be given as a OR'ed set to
hwloc_topology_export_xml().
Enumerator
HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_EXPORT_XML_FLAG_V1
Export XML that is loadable by hwloc v1.x. However, the export may miss some
details about the topology.
Function Documentation
int hwloc_export_obj_userdata (void * reserved, hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_obj_t obj,
const char * name, const void * buffer, size_t length)
Export some object userdata to XML. This function may only be called from within the
export() callback passed to hwloc_topology_set_userdata_export_callback(). It may be
invoked one of multiple times to export some userdata to XML. The buffer content of length
length is stored with optional name name.
When importing this XML file, the import() callback (if set) will be called exactly as
many times as hwloc_export_obj_userdata() was called during export(). It will receive the
corresponding name, buffer and length arguments.
reserved, topology and obj must be the first three parameters that were given to the
export callback.
Only printable characters may be exported to XML string attributes. If a non-printable
character is passed in name or buffer, the function returns -1 with errno set to EINVAL.
If exporting binary data, the application should first encode into printable characters
only (or use hwloc_export_obj_userdata_base64()). It should also take care of portability
issues if the export may be reimported on a different architecture.
int hwloc_export_obj_userdata_base64 (void * reserved, hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_obj_t
obj, const char * name, const void * buffer, size_t length)
Encode and export some object userdata to XML. This function is similar to
hwloc_export_obj_userdata() but it encodes the input buffer into printable characters
before exporting. On import, decoding is automatically performed before the data is given
to the import() callback if any.
This function may only be called from within the export() callback passed to
hwloc_topology_set_userdata_export_callback().
The function does not take care of portability issues if the export may be reimported on a
different architecture.
void hwloc_free_xmlbuffer (hwloc_topology_t topology, char * xmlbuffer)
Free a buffer allocated by hwloc_topology_export_xmlbuffer()
int hwloc_topology_export_xml (hwloc_topology_t topology, const char * xmlpath, unsigned long
flags)
Export the topology into an XML file. This file may be loaded later through
hwloc_topology_set_xml().
By default, the latest export format is used, which means older hwloc releases (e.g. v1.x)
will not be able to import it. Exporting to v1.x specific XML format is possible using
flag HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_EXPORT_XML_FLAG_V1 but it may miss some details about the topology. If
there is any chance that the exported file may ever be imported back by a process using
hwloc 1.x, one should consider detecting it at runtime and using the corresponding export
format.
flags is a OR'ed set of hwloc_topology_export_xml_flags_e.
Returns
-1 if a failure occured.
Note
See also hwloc_topology_set_userdata_export_callback() for exporting application-
specific object userdata.
The topology-specific userdata pointer is ignored when exporting to XML.
Only printable characters may be exported to XML string attributes. Any other
character, especially any non-ASCII character, will be silently dropped.
If name is '-', the XML output is sent to the standard output.
int hwloc_topology_export_xmlbuffer (hwloc_topology_t topology, char ** xmlbuffer, int *
buflen, unsigned long flags)
Export the topology into a newly-allocated XML memory buffer. xmlbuffer is allocated by
the callee and should be freed with hwloc_free_xmlbuffer() later in the caller.
This memory buffer may be loaded later through hwloc_topology_set_xmlbuffer().
By default, the latest export format is used, which means older hwloc releases (e.g. v1.x)
will not be able to import it. Exporting to v1.x specific XML format is possible using
flag HWLOC_TOPOLOGY_EXPORT_XML_FLAG_V1 but it may miss some details about the topology. If
there is any chance that the exported buffer may ever be imported back by a process using
hwloc 1.x, one should consider detecting it at runtime and using the corresponding export
format.
The returned buffer ends with a \0 that is included in the returned length.
flags is a OR'ed set of hwloc_topology_export_xml_flags_e.
Returns
-1 if a failure occured.
Note
See also hwloc_topology_set_userdata_export_callback() for exporting application-
specific object userdata.
The topology-specific userdata pointer is ignored when exporting to XML.
Only printable characters may be exported to XML string attributes. Any other
character, especially any non-ASCII character, will be silently dropped.
void hwloc_topology_set_userdata_export_callback (hwloc_topology_t topology, void(*)(void
*reserved, hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_obj_t obj) export_cb)
Set the application-specific callback for exporting object userdata. The object userdata
pointer is not exported to XML by default because hwloc does not know what it contains.
This function lets applications set export_cb to a callback function that converts this
opaque userdata into an exportable string.
export_cb is invoked during XML export for each object whose userdata pointer is not NULL.
The callback should use hwloc_export_obj_userdata() or hwloc_export_obj_userdata_base64()
to actually export something to XML (possibly multiple times per object).
export_cb may be set to NULL if userdata should not be exported to XML.
Note
The topology-specific userdata pointer is ignored when exporting to XML.
void hwloc_topology_set_userdata_import_callback (hwloc_topology_t topology,
void(*)(hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_obj_t obj, const char *name, const void *buffer,
size_t length) import_cb)
Set the application-specific callback for importing userdata. On XML import, userdata is
ignored by default because hwloc does not know how to store it in memory.
This function lets applications set import_cb to a callback function that will get the
XML-stored userdata and store it in the object as expected by the application.
import_cb is called during hwloc_topology_load() as many times as
hwloc_export_obj_userdata() was called during export. The topology is not entirely setup
yet. Object attributes are ready to consult, but links between objects are not.
import_cb may be NULL if userdata should be ignored during import.
Note
buffer contains length characters followed by a null byte ('\0').
This function should be called before hwloc_topology_load().
The topology-specific userdata pointer is ignored when importing from XML.
