NAME
fi_info - Simple utility to query for fabric interfaces
SYNOPSIS
fi_info [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
The fi_info utility can be used to query for available fabric interfaces. The utility
supports filtering based on a number of options such as endpoint type, provider name, or
supported modes. Additionally, fi_info can also be used to discover the environment
variables that can be used to tune provider specific parameters. If no filters are
specified, then all available fabric interfaces for all providers and endpoint types will
be returned.
OPTIONS
Filtering
-n, –node=<NAME>
Node name or address used to filter interfaces. Only interfaces which can reach
the given node or address will respond.
-P, –port=<PORT>
Port number used to filter interfaces.
-c, –caps=<CAP1|CAP2>..
Pipe separated list of capabilities used to filter interfaces. Only interfaces
supporting all of the given capabilities will respond. For more information on
capabilities, see fi_getinfo(3).
-m, –mode=<MOD1|MOD2>..
Pipe separated list of modes used to filter interfaces. Only interfaces supporting
all of the given modes will respond. For more information on, modes see
fi_getinfo(3).
-t, –ep_type=<EPTYPE>
Specifies the type of fabric interface communication desired. For example,
specifying FI_EP_DGRAM would return only interfaces which support unreliable
datagram. For more information on endpoint types, see fi_endpoint(3).
-a, –addr_format=<FMT>
Filter fabric interfaces by their address format. For example, specifying
FI_SOCKADDR_IN would return only interfaces which use sockaddr_in structures for
addressing. For more information on address formats, see fi_getinfo(3).
-p, –provider=<PROV>
Filter fabric interfaces by the provider implementation. For a list of providers,
see the --list option.
-d, –domain=<DOMAIN>
Filter interfaces to only those with the given domain name.
-f, –fabric=<FABRIC>
Filter interfaces to only those with the given fabric name.
Discovery
-e, –env
List libfabric related environment variables which can be used to enable extra
configuration or tuning.
*-g [filter]
Same as -e option, with output limited to environment variables containing filter
as a substring.
-l, –list
List available libfabric providers.
-v, –verbose
By default, fi_info will display a summary of each of the interfaces discovered.
If the verbose option is enabled, then all of the contents of the fi_info structure
are displayed. For more information on the data contained in the fi_info
structure, see fi_getinfo(3).
–version
Display versioning information.
USAGE EXAMPLES
$ fi_info -p verbs -t FI_EP_DGRAM
This will respond with all fabric interfaces that use endpoint type FI_EP_DGRAM with the
verbs provider.
fi_info -c 'FI_MSG|FI_READ|FI_RMA'
This will respond with all fabric interfaces that can support FI_MSG|FI_READ|FI_RMA
capabilities.
OUTPUT
By default fi_info will output a summary of the fabric interfaces discovered:
