       lstopo, lstopo-no-graphics, hwloc-ls - Show the topology of the system

SYNOPSIS

       lstopo [ options ]... [ filename ]

       lstopo-no-graphics [ options ]... [ filename ]

       hwloc-ls [ options ]... [ filename ]

       Note  that hwloc(7) provides a detailed explanation of the hwloc system; it should be read
       before reading this man page

OPTIONS

       --of <format>, --output-format <format>
              Enforce the output in the given format.  See the OUTPUT FORMATS section below.

       -i <path>, --input <path>
              Read the topology from <path> instead of discovering  the  topology  of  the  local
              machine.

              If  <path>  is  a  file and XML support has been compiled in hwloc, it may be a XML
              file exported by a previous hwloc program.  If <path> is "-",  the  standard  input
              may be used as a XML file.

              On  Linux,  <path>  may  be a directory containing the topology files gathered from
              another machine topology with hwloc-gather-topology.

              On x86, <path> may be a directory containing a  cpuid  dump  gathered  with  hwloc-
              gather-cpuid.

              When the archivemount program is available, <path> may also be a tarball containing
              such Linux or x86 topology files.

       -i <specification>, --input <specification>
              Simulate a fake hierarchy  (instead  of  discovering  the  topology  on  the  local
              machine).  If  <specification> is "node:2 pu:3", the topology will contain two NUMA
              nodes with 3 processing units in each of them.  The <specification> string must end
              with a number of PUs.

       --if <format>, --input-format <format>
              Enforce the input in the given format, among xml, fsroot, cpuid and synthetic.

       --export-xml-flags <flags>
              Enforce  flags  when  exporting  to  the XML format.  Flags may be given as numeric
              values  or  as  a  comma-separated  list  of  flag  names  that   are   passed   to
              hwloc_topology_export_xml().  Those names may be substrings of actual flag names as
              long as a single one matches.  A value of 1 (or v1) reverts to the format of  hwloc
              v1.x.  The default is 0 (or none).

       --export-synthetic-flags <flags>
              Enforce  flags  when  exporting  to  the  synthetic  format.  Flags may be given as
              numeric values or as a comma-separated list  of  flag  names  that  are  passed  to
              hwloc_topology_export_synthetic().   Those  names  may be substrings of actual flag
              names as long as a single one matches.  A value of 2 (or no_attr)  reverts  to  the
              format  of  hwloc  v1.9.   A value of 3 (or no_ext,no_attr) reverts to the original
              minimalistic format (before v1.9).  The default is 0 (or none).

       -v --verbose
              Include additional detail.  The hwloc-info tool may be used to  display  even  more
              information about specific objects.

       -s --silent
              Reduce the amount of details to show.

       --distances
              Only display distance matrices.

       --distances-transform <links|merge-switch-ports|transitive-closure>
              Try  applying a transformation to distances structures before displaying them.  See
              hwloc_distances_transform() for details.  More transformations may be applied using
              hwloc-annotate(1) (and it may save their output to XML).

       --memattrs
              Only  display  memory  attributes.   All  of  them are displayed (while the default
              textual output selects memory attribute details depending on the verbosity level).

       --cpukinds
              Only display CPU kinds.  CPU kinds are displayed in order, starting from  the  most
              energy efficient ones up to the rather higher performance and power hungry ones.

       --windows-processor-groups
              On  Windows,  only  show  information  about  processor  groups.   All  of them are
              displayed, while the default verbose output only shows them if there are more  than
              one.

       -f --force
              If the destination file already exists, overwrite it.

       -l --logical
              Display  hwloc  logical indexes of all objects, with prefix "L#".  By default, both
              logical and physical/OS indexes are displayed for PUs and NUMA nodes, logical  only
              for cores, dies and packages, and no index for other types.

       -p --physical
              Display  OS/physical  indexes  of  all objects, with prefix "P#".  By default, both
              logical and physical/OS indexes are displayed for PUs and NUMA nodes, logical  only
              for cores, dies and packages, and no index for other types.

       --logical-index-prefix <prefix>
              Replace " L#" with the given prefix for logical indexes.

       --os-index-prefix <prefix>
              Replace " P#" with the given prefix for physical/OS indexes.

       -c --cpuset
              Display the cpuset of each object.

       -C --cpuset-only
              Only  display  the  cpuset  of  each object; do not display anything else about the
              object.

       --taskset
              Show CPU set strings in the format recognized by the taskset  command-line  program
              instead  of  hwloc-specific  CPU set string format.  This option should be combined
              with --cpuset or --cpuset-only, otherwise it will imply --cpuset.

       --only <type>
              Only show objects of the given type in the textual output.

       --filter <type>:<kind>, --filter <type>
              Filter objects of type <type>, or of any type if <type> is  "all".   "io",  "cache"
              and "icache" are also supported.

              <kind>  specifies  the filtering behavior.  If "none" or not specified, all objects
              of the given type are removed.  If "all",  all  objects  are  kept  as  usual.   If
              "structure",  objects  are  kept  when  they  bring  structure to the topology.  If
              "important" (only applicable  to  I/O),  only  important  objects  are  kept.   See
              hwloc_topology_set_type_filter() for more details.

              hwloc supports filtering any type except PUs and NUMA nodes.  lstopo also offers PU
              and NUMA node filtering by hiding them in the graphical and  textual  outputs,  but
              any  object included in them (for instance Misc) will be hidden as well.  Note that
              PUs and NUMA nodes may not be ignored in the XML output.  Note also that  the  top-
              level object type cannot be ignored (usually Machine or System).

       --ignore <type>
              This is the old way to specify --filter <type>:none.

       --no-smt
              Ignore PUs.  This is identical to --filter PU:none.

       --no-caches
              Do not show caches.  This is identical to --filter cache:none.

       --no-useless-caches
              This is identical to --filter cache:structure.

       --no-icaches
              This is identical to --filter icache:none.

       --disallowed
              Include  objects  disallowed  by administrative limitations (e.g Cgroups on Linux).
              Offline PUs and NUMA nodes are still ignored.

       --allow <all|local|0xff|nodeset=0xf0>
              Include objects disallowed by administrative limitations (implies --disallowed) and
              also change the set of allowed ones.

              If  local  is  given,  only  objects  available  to the current process are allowed
              (default behavior when loading from the native operating system backend).   It  may
              be  useful  if  the  topology  was  created  by  another  process  (with  different
              administrative restrictions such as Linux Cgroups) and loaded here loaded from  XML
              or synthetic.  This case implies --thissystem.

              If all, all objects are allowed.

              If a bitmap is given as a hexadecimal string, it is used as the set of allowed PUs.

              If a bitmap is given after prefix nodeset=, it is the set of allowed NUMA nodes.

       --flags <flags>
              Enforce  topology  flags.   Flags  may  be  given  as numeric values or as a comma-
              separated list of flag names that are passed to hwloc_topology_set_flags().   Those
              names  may  be substrings of actual flag names as long as a single one matches, for
              instance disallowed,thissystem_allowed.  The default is 8 (or import).

       --merge
              Do  not  show  levels  that  do  not  have  a  hierarchical  impact.    This   sets
              HWLOC_TYPE_FILTER_KEEP_STRUCTURE  for  all  object  types.   This  is  identical to
              --filter all:structure.

       --no-factorize --no-factorize=<type>
              Never factorize identical objects in the graphical output.

              If an object type is given, only factorizing of these objects  is  disabled.   This
              only applies to normal CPU-side objects, it is independent from PCI collapsing.

       --factorize --factorize=[<type>,]<N>[,<L>[,<F>]
              Factorize identical children in the graphical output (enabled by default).

              If <N> is specified (4 by default), factorizing only occurs when there are strictly
              more than N identical children.  If <L> and <F> are specified, they set the numbers
              of first and last children to keep after factorizing.

              If  an object type is given, only factorizing of these objects is configured.  This
              only applies to normal CPU-side object, it is independent from PCI collapsing.

       --no-collapse
              Do not collapse identical PCI devices.  By default, identical sibling  PCI  devices
              (such as many virtual functions inside a single physical device) are collapsed.

       --no-cpukinds
              Do  not  show  different  kinds  of CPUs in the graphical output.  By default, when
              supported, different types of lines, thickness and bold font may be used to display
              PU boxes of different kinds.

       --restrict <cpuset>
              Restrict the topology to the given cpuset.

       --restrict nodeset=<nodeset>
              Restrict  the  topology  to  the  given  nodeset, unless --restrict-flags specifies
              something different.

       --restrict binding
              Restrict the topology to the current process binding.  This option requires the use
              of  the actual current machine topology (or any other topology with --thissystem or
              with HWLOC_THISSYSTEM set to 1 in the environment).

       --restrict-flags <flags>
              Enforce flags when restricting the topology.  Flags may be given as numeric  values
              or   as   a   comma-separated   list   of   flag   names   that   are   passed   to
              hwloc_topology_restrict().  Those names may be substrings of actual flag  names  as
              long as a single one matches, for instance bynodeset,memless.  The default is 0 (or
              none).

       --no-io
              Do not show any I/O device or bridge.  This is identical to --filter  io:none.   By
              default,   common   devices  (GPUs,  NICs,  block  devices,  ...)  and  interesting
              bridges/switches are shown.

       --no-bridges
              Do not show any I/O bridge except  hostbridges.   This  is  identical  to  --filter
              bridge:none.   By  default,  common  devices  (GPUs,  NICs, block devices, ...) and
              interesting bridges/switches are shown.

       --whole-io
              Show all I/O devices and bridges.   This  is  identical  to  --filter  io:all.   By
              default,  only  common  devices  (GPUs,  NICs,  block devices, ...) and interesting
              bridges/switches are shown.

       --thissystem
              Assume that the selected backend provides the topology for the system on  which  we
              are running.  This is useful when loading a custom topology such as an XML file and
              using --restrict binding or --allow all.

       --pid <pid>
              Detect topology as seen by  process  <pid>,  i.e.  as  if  process  <pid>  did  the
              discovery  itself.   Note  that  this  can  for  instance change the set of allowed
              processors.  Also show this process current CPU and Memory binding by  marking  the
              corresponding  PUs and NUMA nodes (in Green in the graphical output, see the COLORS
              section below, or by appending (binding) to the verbose  text  output).   If  0  is
              given as pid, the current binding for the lstopo process will be shown.

       --ps --top
              Show  existing  processes  as  misc  objects  in  the  output.  To  avoid uselessly
              cluttering the output, only processes that are  restricted  to  some  part  of  the
              machine  are  shown.   On  Linux,  kernel threads are not shown.  If many processes
              appear, the output may become hard to read anyway, making the hwloc-ps program more
              practical.

       --children-order <order>
              Change the order of the different kinds of children with respect to their parent in
              the graphical output.  <order> may be a comma-separated list of keywords among:

              memory:above displays memory children above other children (and above the parent if
              it  is  a  cache).   PUs are therefore below their local NUMA nodes, like hwloc 1.x
              did.

              io:right and misc:right place I/O or Misc children on the right of CPU children.

              io:below  and misc:below place I/O or Misc children below CPU children.

              plain places everything not specified together with normal CPU children.

              If only plain is specified, lstopo displays the topology in  a  basic  manner  that
              strictly  matches  the  actual tree: Memory, I/O and Misc children are listed below
              their parent just like any other child.  PUs are therefore on  the  side  of  their
              local  NUMA  nodes,  below  a  common  ancestor.  This output may result in strange
              layouts since the size of Memory, CPU and  I/O  children  may  be  very  different,
              causing the placement algorithm to poorly arrange them in rows.

              The  default  order is memory:above,io:right,misc:right which means Memory children
              are above CPU children while I/O and Misc are together on the right.

              Up to hwloc 2.5, the default was rather to memory:above,plain.

              Additionally, io:right, io:below, misc:right and misc:below may  be  suffixed  with
              :horiz,  :vert  or :rect to force the horizontal, vertical or rectangular layout of
              children inside these sections.

              See also the GRAPHICAL OUTPUT and LAYOUT sections below.

       --fontsize <size>
              Set the size of text font in the graphical output.

              The default is 10.

              Boxes are scaled according to the text size.   The  LSTOPO_TEXT_XSCALE  environment
              variable  may  be  used  to  further scale the width of boxes (its default value is
              1.0).

              The --fontsize option is ignored in the ASCII backend.

       --gridsize <size>
              Set the margin between elements in the graphical output.

              The default is 7. It was 10 prior to hwloc 2.1.

              This option is ignored in the ASCII backend.

       --linespacing <size>
              Set the spacing between lines of text in the graphical output.

              The default is 4.

              The option was included in --gridsize prior to hwloc 2.1 (and its default was 10).

              This option is ignored in the ASCII backend.

       --thickness <size>
              Set the thickness of lines and boxes in the graphical output.

              The default is 1.

              This option is ignored in the ASCII backend.

       --horiz, --horiz=<type1,...>
              Force a horizontal graphical layout instead of nearly 4/3 ratio  in  the  graphical
              output.   If  a  comma-separated  list  of  object  types is given, the layout only
              applies to the corresponding container objects.  Ignored for  bridges  since  their
              children are always vertically aligned.

       --vert, --vert=<type1,...>
              Force  a  vertical  graphical  layout  instead of nearly 4/3 ratio in the graphical
              output.  If a comma-separated list of  object  types  is  given,  the  layout  only
              applies to the corresponding container objects.

       --rect, --rect=<type1,...>
              Force a rectangular graphical layout with nearly 4/3 ratio in the graphical output.
              If a comma-separated list of object types is given, the layout only applies to  the
              corresponding  container  objects.   Ignored  for  bridges since their children are
              always vertically aligned.

       --no-text, --no-text=<type1,...>
              Do not display any text in boxes in the graphical  output.   If  a  comma-separated
              list  of  object  types  is  given, text is disabled for the corresponding objects.
              This is mostly useful for removing text from Group objects.

       --text, --text=<type1,...>
              Display text in boxes in the graphical output (default).  If a comma-separated list
              of  object  types  is given, text is reenabled for the corresponding objects (if it
              was previously disabled with --no-text).

       --no-index, --no-index=<type1,...>
              Do not show object indexes in the graphical output.  If a comma-separated  list  of
              object types is given, indexes are disabled for the corresponding objects.

       --index, --index=<type1,...>
              Show  object  indexes in the graphical output (default).  If a comma-separated list
              of object types is given, indexes are reenabled for the corresponding  objects  (if
              they were previously disabled with --no-index).

       --no-attrs, --no-attrs=<type1,...>
              Do  not  show  object  attributes (such as memory size, cache size, PCI bus ID, PCI
              link speed, etc.)  in the graphical output.  If a comma-separated  list  of  object
              types is given, attributes are disabled for the corresponding objects.

       --attrs, --attrs=<type1,...>
              Show  object  attributes  (such  as  memory  size, cache size, PCI bus ID, PCI link
              speed, etc.)  in the graphical output (default).   If  a  comma-separated  list  of
              object  types  is given, attributes are reenabled for the corresponding objects (if
              they were previously disabled with --no-attrs).

       --no-legend
              Remove all text legend lines at the bottom of the graphical output.

       --no-default-legend
              Remove default text legend lines at the bottom of the graphical output.  User-added
              legend lines with --append-legend or the "lstopoLegend" info are still displayed if
              any.

       --append-legend <line>
              Append the line of text to the bottom of the legend in the  graphical  output.   If
              adding  multiple lines, each line should be given separately by passing this option
              multiple times.  Additional legend lines may also be specified inside the  topology
              using the "lstopoLegend" info attributes on the topology root object.

       --grey, --greyscale
              Use greyscale instead of colors in the graphical output.

       --palette <grey|greyscale|defaut|colors|white|none>
              Change the color palette.  Passing grey or greyscale is identical to passing --grey
              or --greyscale.  Passing white or none uses white instead of  colors  for  all  box
              backgrounds.  Passing default or colors reverts back to the default color palette.

       --palette type=#rrggbb
              Replace  the  color  of  the  given  box type with the given 3x8bit hexadecimal RGB
              combination (e.g. #ff0000 is red).  Existing types  are  machine,  group,  package,
              group_in_package, die, core, pu, numanode, memories (box containing multiple memory
              children), cache, pcidev, osdev, bridge, and misc.

              See also CUSTOM COLOR below for customizing individual objects.

       --binding-color <none|#rrggbb>
              Do not colorize PUs and NUMA nodes  according  to  the  binding  in  the  graphical
              output.   Or change the color to the given 3x8bit hexadecimal RGB combination (e.g.
              #ff0000 is red).

       --disallowed-color <none|#rrggbb>
              Do not colorize disallowed PUs and NUMA nodes in the graphical output.   Or  change
              the color to the given 3x8bit hexadecimal RGB combination (e.g. #00ff00 is green).

       --top-color <none|#rrggbb>
              Do  not  colorize  task  objects  in  the graphical output when --top is given.  Or
              change the color to the given 3x8bit hexadecimal RGB combination (e.g.  #0000ff  is
              blue).

       --version
              Report version and exit.

       -h --help
              Display help message and exit.

DESCRIPTION

       lstopo and lstopo-no-graphics are capable of displaying a topological map of the system in
       a variety of different output formats.  The only difference between lstopo and  lstopo-no-
       graphics is that graphical outputs are only supported by lstopo, to reduce dependencies on
       external libraries.  hwloc-ls is identical to lstopo-no-graphics.

       The filename specified directly implies the output format  that  will  be  used;  see  the
       OUTPUT  FORMATS  section, below.  Output formats that support color will indicate specific
       characteristics about individual CPUs by their color; see the COLORS section, below.

OUTPUT FORMATS

       By default, if no output filename is specific, the output is sent to a graphical window if
       possible  in  the  current  environment  (DISPLAY environment variable set on Unix, etc.).
       Otherwise, a text summary is displayed in the console.  The console is also used when  the
       program  runs  from  a  terminal  and  the  output is redirected to a pipe or file.  These
       default behaviors may be changed by passing --of console to force  console  mode  or  --of
       window for graphical window.

       The filename on the command line usually determines the format of the output.  There are a
       few filenames that indicate specific output formats and devices (e.g., a filename  of  "-"
       will  output  a  text  summary  to stdout), but most filenames indicate the desired output
       format by their suffix (e.g., "topo.png" will output a PNG-format file).

       The format of the output may also be changed with "--of".  For instance, "--of  pdf"  will
       generate  a  PDF-format  file  on the standard output, while "--of fig toto" will output a
       Xfig-format file named "toto".

       The list of currently supported formats is given below. Any  of  them  may  be  used  with
       "--of" or as a filename suffix.

       default
              Send the output to a window or to the console depending on the environment.

       window Send the output to a graphical window.

       console
              Send  a text summary to stdout.  Binding or unallowed processors are only annotated
              in this mode if verbose; see the COLORS section, below.

       ascii  Output an ASCII art representation of the map (formerly called txt).  If outputting
              to  stdout  and  if  colors  are  supported  on  the  terminal,  the output will be
              colorized.

       tikz or tex
              Output a LaTeX tikzpicture representation of the map that can be  compiled  with  a
              LaTeX compiler.

       fig    Output a representation of the map that can be loaded in Xfig.

       svg    Output a SVG representation of the map, using Cairo (by default, if supported) or a
              native SVG backend (fallback, always supported).  See cairosvg and nativesvg below.

       cairosvg or svg(cairo)
              If lstopo was compiled with the proper support, output a SVG representation of  the
              map using Cairo.

       nativesvg or svg(native)
              Output  a  SVG  representation  of the map using the native SVG backend.  It may be
              less pretty than the Cairo output, but it is always supported, and SVG objects have
              attributes for identifying and manipulating them.  See dynamic_SVG_example.html for
              an example.

       pdf    If lstopo was compiled with the proper support, lstopo outputs a PDF representation
              of the map.

       ps     If  lstopo  was  compiled  with  the  proper  support,  lstopo outputs a Postscript
              representation of the map.

       png    If lstopo was compiled with the proper support, lstopo outputs a PNG representation
              of the map.

       synthetic
              If  the  topology  is  symmetric  (which  requires  that  the  root  object has its
              symmetric_subtree field set), lstopo outputs a synthetic description string.   This
              output  may  be  reused as an input synthetic topology description later.  See also
              the Synthetic topologies section in the documentation.   Note  that  Misc  and  I/O
              devices are ignored during this export.

       xml    If   lstopo   was   compiled  with  the  proper  support,  lstopo  outputs  an  XML
              representation of the map.  It may be reused later, even on another  machine,  with
              lstopo    --input,    the    HWLOC_XMLFILE    environment    variable,    or    the
              hwloc_topology_set_xml() function.

       The following special names may be used:

       -      Send a text summary to stdout.

       /dev/stdout
              Send a text summary to stdout.  It is effectively the same as specifying "-".

       -.<format>
              If the entire filename is "-.<format>", lstopo behaves as if "--of <format> -"  was
              given, which means a file of the given format is sent to the standard output.

       See the output of "lstopo --help" for a specific list of what graphical output formats are
       supported in your hwloc installation.

GRAPHICAL OUTPUT

       The graphical output is made of nested boxes representing the inclusion of objects in  the
       hierarchy of resources.  Usually a Machine box contains one or several Package boxes, that
       contain multiple Core boxes, with one or several PUs each.

   Caches
       Caches are displayed in a slightly different manner because they do not  actually  include
       computing  resources such as cores.  For instance, a L2 Cache shared by a pair of Cores is
       drawn as a Cache box on top of two Core boxes (instead of having  Core  boxes  inside  the
       Cache box).

   NUMA nodes and Memory-side Caches
       By  default,  NUMA  nodes  boxes are drawn on top of their local computing resources.  For
       instance, a processor Package containing one NUMA node and four Cores is  displayed  as  a
       Package  box  containing the NUMA node box above four Core boxes.  If a NUMA node is local
       to the L3 Cache, the NUMA node is displayed above  that  Cache  box.   All  this  specific
       drawing  strategy  for  memory  objects  may  be  disabled  by passing command-line option
       --children-order plain.

       If multiple NUMA nodes are attached to the same parent object, they are  displayed  inside
       an additional unnamed memory box.

       If  some  Memory-side  Caches  exist  in front of some NUMA nodes, they are drawn as boxes
       immediately above them.

   PCI bridges, PCI devices and OS devices
       The PCI hierarchy is not drawn as a set of included boxes but rather as a tree of  bridges
       (that  may  actually  be  switches) with links between them.  The tree starts with a small
       square on the left for the hostbridge or root complex.  It ends with PCI device  boxes  on
       the  right.   Intermediate  PCI bridges/switches may appear as additional small squares in
       the middle.

       PCI devices on the right of the tree are boxes  containing  their  PCI  bus  ID  (such  as
       00:02.3).   They  may  also  contain  sub-boxes  for  OS  device objects such as a network
       interface eth0 or a CUDA GPU cuda0.

       When there is a single link (horizontal line) on the right of a PCI bridge, it means  that
       a  single device or bridge is connected on the secondary PCI bus behind that bridge.  When
       there is a vertical line, it means that multiple devices and/or bridges are  connected  to
       the same secondary PCI bus.

       The  datarate  of  a  PCI link may be written (in GB/s) right below its drawn line (if the
       operating system and/or libraries are able to report that information).  This datarate  is
       the  currently  configured  speed  of the entire PCI link (sum of the bandwidth of all PCI
       lanes in that link).  It may change during execution since some devices are able  to  slow
       their PCI links down when idle.

LAYOUT

       In its graphical output, lstopo uses simple rectangular heuristics to try to achieve a 4/3
       ratio between  width  and  height.   Although  the  hierarchy  of  resources  is  properly
       reflected,  the exact physical organization (NUMA distances, rings, complete graphs, etc.)
       is currently ignored.

       The layout of a level may be changed with --vert, --horiz, and --rect to  force  a  parent
       object   to   arrange   its  children  in  vertical,  horizontal  or  rectangular  manners
       respectively.

       The position of Memory, I/O and Misc children with respect to other children  objects  may
       be  changed  using  --children-order.   This  effectivement divides children into multiple
       sections.  The layout of children is first computed inside each section,  before  sections
       are placed inside (or below) the parent box.

       The  vertical/horizontal/rectangular  layout  of  these  additional  sections  may also be
       configured through --children-order.

COLORS

       Individual CPUs and NUMA nodes are colored in the graphical  output  formats  to  indicate
       different characteristics:

       Green  The  topology  is reported as seen by a specific process (see --pid), and the given
              CPU or NUMA node is in this process CPU or Memory binding mask.

       White  The CPU or NUMA node is in the  allowed  set  (see  below).   If  the  topology  is
              reported  as seen by a specific process (see --pid), the object is also not in this
              process binding mask.

       Red    The CPU or NUMA node is not in the allowed set (see below).

       The "allowed set" is the set of CPUs or NUMA nodes to which the current process is allowed
       to  bind.   The  allowed set is usually either inherited from the parent process or set by
       administrative qpolicies on the system.  Linux cpusets are one  example  of  limiting  the
       allowed  set  for  a process and its children to be less than the full set of CPUs or NUMA
       nodes on the system.

       Different processes may therefore have different CPUs or NUMA nodes in  the  allowed  set.
       Hence,  invoking  lstopo  in  different  contexts  and/or  as  different users may display
       different colors for the same individual CPUs (e.g., running lstopo  in  one  context  may
       show  a  specific  CPU as red, but running lstopo in a different context may show the same
       CPU as white).

       Some lstopo output modes, e.g. the console mode (default  non-graphical  output),  do  not
       support  colors  at all.  The console mode displays the above characteristics by appending
       text to each PU line if verbose messages are enabled.

CUSTOM COLORS

       The colors of different kinds of boxes may be configured with --palette.

       The color of each object in the graphical output may also  be  enforced  by  specifying  a
       "lstopoStyle"  info  attribute in that object.  Its value should be a semi-colon separated
       list of "<attribute>=#rrggbb" where rr, gg and bb are the RGB components of a color,  each
       between 0 and 255, in hexadecimal (00 to ff).  <attribute> may be

       Background
              Sets the background color of the main object box.

       Text   Sets the color of the text showing the object name, type, index, etc.

       Text2  Sets  the color of the additional text near the object, for instance the link speed
              behind a PCI bridge.

       The "lstopoStyle" info may be added to a  temporarily-saved  XML  topologies  with  hwloc-
       annotate, or with hwloc_obj_add_info().  For instance, to display all core objects in blue
       (with white names):

           lstopo save.xml
           hwloc-annotate      save.xml      save.xml       core:all       info       lstopoStyle
       "Background=#0000ff;Text=#ffffff"
           lstopo -i save.xml

EXAMPLES

       To display the machine topology in textual mode:

           lstopo-no-graphics

       To display the machine topology in ascii-art mode:

           lstopo-no-graphics -.ascii

       To  display  in graphical mode (assuming that the DISPLAY environment variable is set to a
       relevant value):

           lstopo

       To export the topology to a PNG file:

           lstopo file.png

       To export an XML file on a machine and later display the corresponding graphical output on
       another machine:

           machine1$ lstopo file.xml
           <transfer file.xml from machine1 to machine2>
           machine2$ lstopo --input file.xml

       To  save  the  current  machine  topology  to  XML  and later reload it faster while still
       considering it as the current machine:

          $ lstopo file.xml
          <...>
          $ lstopo --input file.xml --thissystem

       To restrict an XML topology to only physical processors 0, 1, 4 and 5:

           lstopo --input file.xml --restrict 0x33 newfile.xml

       To restrict an XML topology to only numa node whose logical index is 1:

           lstopo --input file.xml --restrict $(hwloc-calc --input file.xml node:1) newfile.xml

       To display a summary of the topology:

           lstopo -s

       To get more details about the topology:

           lstopo -v

       To only show cores:

           lstopo --only core

       To show cpusets:

           lstopo --cpuset

       To only show the cpusets of package:

           lstopo --only package --cpuset-only

       Simulate a fake hierarchy; this example shows with 2 NUMA nodes of 2 processor units:

           lstopo --input "node:2 2"

       To count the number of logical processors in the system

          lstopo --only pu | wc -l

       To append the kernel release and version to the graphical legend:

          lstopo --append-legend "Kernel release: $(uname -r)" --append-legend  "Kernel  version:
       $(uname -v)"

NOTES

       lstopo  displays memory and cache sizes with units such as kB (1 kilobyte = 1000 bytes) or
       GB (1 gigabyte = 1000*1000*1000 bytes) while it actually means  KiB  (1  kibibyte  =  1024
       bytes) or GiB (1 gibibytes = 1024*1024*1024 bytes) .
