This file presents the MCA parameter interface.
Note that there are two scopes for MCA parameters: "normal" and attributes. Specifically, all MCA parameters are "normal" – some are special and may also be found on attributes on communicators, datatypes, or windows.
In general, these functions are intended to be used as follows:
MCA parameters can be defined in multiple different places. As such, parameters are resolved to find their value. The order of resolution is as follows:
Note that there is a second header file (mca_base_param_internal.h) that contains several internal type delcarations for the parameter system. The internal file is only used within the parameter system itself; it should not be required by any other Open MPI entities.

OPAL_DECLSPEC int mca_base_param_build_env | ( | char *** | env, |

This function is similar to mca_base_param_dump() except that its output is in terms of an argv-style array of key=value strings, suitable for using in an environment.

Check that two MCA parameters were not both set to non-default values.
type_a | [in] Framework name of parameter A (string). |

component_b | [in] Component name of parameter A (string). |
param_b | [in] Parameter name of parameter A (string. |
This function is useful for checking that the user did not set both of 2 mutually-exclusive MCA parameters.
This function will print an opal_show_help() message and return OPAL_ERR_BAD_PARAM if it finds that the two parameters both have value sources that are not MCA_BASE_PARAM_SOURCE_DEFAULT. This means that both parameters have been set by the user (i.e., they're not default values).
Note that opal_show_help() allows itself to be hooked, so if this happens after the aggregated orte_show_help() system is initialized, the messages will be aggregated (w00t).

OPAL_DECLSPEC int mca_base_param_deregister | ( | int | index | ) |

index | Index returned from mca_base_param_register_init() |
OPAL_DECLSPEC int mca_base_param_dump | ( | opal_list_t ** | info, |

OPAL_SUCCESS | Upon success. |
OPAL_ERROR | Upon failure. |
This function is used to obtain a list of all the currently registered MCA parameters along with their associated types (currently: string or integer). The results from this function can be used to repeatedly invoke mca_base_param_lookup_int() and/or mca_base_param_lookup_string() to obtain a comprehensive list of all MCA parameters and their current values.
Releasing the list, and all the items in the list, is a relatively complicated process. Use the companion function mca_base_param_dump_release() when finished with the returned info list to release all associated memory.

info | [in/out] An opal_list_t previously returned from mca_base_param_dump(). |
OPAL_SUCCESS | Upon success. |
OPAL_ERROR | Upon failure. |
This function is intended to be used to free the info list returned from mca_base_param_dump(). There are a bunch of strings and other associated memory in the list making it cumbersome for the caller to free it all properly. Hence, once the caller is finished with the info list, invoke this function and all memory associated with the list will be freed.

It is not always convenient to widely propagate a parameter's index value, or it may be necessary to look up the parameter from a different component – where it is not possible to have the return value from mca_base_param_register_int() or mca_base_param_register_string(). This function can be used to look up the index of any registered parameter. The returned index can be used with mca_base_param_lookup_int() and mca_base_param_lookup_string().

This function registers an integer MCA parameter and associates it with a specific component.
If the {component} pointer is not NULL, the type name and component name are automatically prefixed to the parameter name. Otherwise, the {param_name} is used as the full parameter name.
The {help_msg} is a string of arbitrary length (verbose is good!) for explaining what the parameter is for and what its valid values are. This message is used in help messages, such as the output from the ompi_info executable.
If {internal} is set to true, this parameter is not shown by default in the output of ompi_info. That is, this parameter is considered internal to the Open MPI implementation and is not supposed to be viewed / changed by the user.
If {read_only} is true, then the registered {default_value} will be the only value ever returned when this parameter is looked up. That is, command line, environment, and file overrides will be ignored. This is useful, for example, for reporting information to the user (e.g., the version of the GM library that was linked against).
If the {current_value} is not NULL, when the registration is complete, the parameter system will look up the current value of the parameter and return it in {current_value}.

This function is identical to mca_base_param_reg_int() except that it registers parameters that are not associated with components. For example, it can be used to register parameters associated with a framework base or an overall layer (e.g., the MPI layer, or the MCA base system framework itself). Typical "type" strings are:
"mca": for the MCA base framework itself framework name: for any given framework "mpi": for parameters that apply to the overall MPI layer "orte": for parameters that apply to the overall ORTE layer "btl": for parameters to the OMPI BTL framework ...etc.
Note that the type should always be a framework or a level name (e.g., "btl" or "mpi") – it should not include the component name, even if the component is the base of a framework. Hence, "btl_base" is not a valid type name. Specifically, registering a parameter with an unrecognized type is not an error, but ompi_info has a hard-coded list of frameworks and levels; parameters that have recongized types, although they can be used by the user, will not be displayed by ompi_info.
Note that if you use mca_base_param_find() to lookup the index of the registered parameter, the "component" argument should be NULL (because it is not specified in this registration function, and is therefore registered with a NULL value).

Note that if a string value is read in from a file then it will never be NULL. It will always have a value, even if that value is the empty string.
NOTE: Strings returned in the current_value parameter should later be free()'ed.
This function is identical to mca_base_param_reg_int() except that you are registering a string parameter with an associated string default value (which is not allowed to be NULL). See mca_base_param_reg_int() for all other details.

This function is identical to mca_base_param_reg_string() except that it registers parameters that are not associated with components. For example, it can be used to register parameters associated with a framework base or an overall layer (e.g., the MPI layer, or the MCA base system framework itself). Typical "type" strings are:
"mca": for the MCA base framework itself framework name: for any given framework "mpi": for parameters that apply to the overall MPI layer "orte": for parameters that apply to the overall ORTE layer "btl": for parameters to the OMPI BTL framework ...etc.
Note that the type should always be a framework or a level name (e.g., "btl" or "mpi") – it should not include the component name, even if the component is the base of a framework. Hence, "btl_base" is not a valid type name. Specifically, registering a parameter with an unrecognized type is not an error, but ompi_info has a hard-coded list of frameworks and levels; parameters that have recongized types, although they can be used by the user, will not be displayed by ompi_info.
Note that if you use mca_base_param_find() to lookup the index of the registered parameter, the "component" argument should be NULL (because it is not specified in this registration function, and is therefore registered with a NULL value).

Register a synonym name for an MCA parameter.
original_index | [in] The index of the original parameter to create a synonym for. |
syn_component | [in] Pointer to the component for which the synonym is being registered. |
syn_param_name | [in] Parameter name of the synonym to be created (string) |
deprecated | If true, a warning will be shown if this synonym is used to set the parameter's value (unless the warnings are silenced) |
Upon success, this function creates a synonym MCA parameter that will be treated almost exactly like the original. The type (int or string) is irrelevant; this function simply creates a new name that by which the same parameter value is accessible.
Note that the original parameter name has precendence over all synonyms. For example, consider the case if parameter is originally registered under the name "A" and is later registered with synonyms "B" and "C". If the user sets values for both MCA parameter names "A" and "B", the value associated with the "A" name will be used and the value associated with the "B" will be ignored (and will not even be visible by the mca_base_param_*() API). If the user sets values for both MCA parameter names "B" and "C" (and does not set a value for "A"), it is undefined as to which value will be used.

This function is deprecated. Use mca_base_param_reg_int() instead.
This function registers an integer MCA parameter and associates it with a specific component.
The default resulting MCA parameter name is {type_name}[_{component_name}][_{param_name}].
{component_name} is only included if it is non-NULL. All components an should include their name; component frameworks should pass "base". It is only permissible for the MCA base itself to pass NULL for the component_name.
Likewise, {param_name} is also only included if it is non-NULL. Components and frameworks can pass NULL for this parameter if they wish.
In most cases, mca_param_name should be NULL, in which case the user-visible name of this parameter will be the default form (as described above). Only in rare cases is it necessary (or advisable) to override the default name – its use is strongly discouraged.
It is permissable to register a (type_name, component_name, param_name) triple more than once; the same index value will be returned, but the default value will be changed to reflect the last registration.

internal | [in] Boolean indicating whether the MCA parameter is internal (private) or public. |
"Internal" MCA parameters are ones that are not intentended to be seen or modified by users or user applications. These include values that are set at run time, such as TCP ports, IP addresses, etc. By setting the "internal" flag, internal MCA parameters are not displayed during the output of ompi_info and MPI_INIT (at least, they're not displayed by default), thus keeping them away from prying user eyes.

This function sets a string value on the MCA parameter indicated by the index value index. This value will be used in lieu of any other value from any other MCA source (environment variable, file, etc.) until the value is unset with mca_base_param_unset().
The string is copied by value; the string "value" parameter does not become "owned" by the parameter subsystem.
