# orte-info(1)

Display information about the ORTE installation

## NAME

orte-info - Display information about the ORTE installation

## SYNOPSIS

**orte-info \[options\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**orte-info** provides detailed information about the ORTE installation.  It can be useful for at least three common scenarios:

1\. Checking local configuration and seeing how ORTE was installed.

2\. Submitting bug reports / help requests to the ORTE community (see *http://www.open-mpi.org/community/help/*)

3\. Seeing a list of installed ORTE plugins and querying what MCA parameters they support.

## OPTIONS

**orte-info** accepts the following options:

- *-a\|--all*

  Show all configuration options and MCA parameters

- *--arch*

  Show architecture ORTE was compiled on

- *-c\|--config*

  Show configuration options

- *-gmca\|--gmca \<param\> \<value\>*

  Pass global MCA parameters that are applicable to all contexts.

- *-h\|--help*

  Shows help / usage message

- *--hostname*

  Show the hostname that ORTE was configured and built on

- *--internal*

  Show internal MCA parameters (not meant to be modified by users)

- *-mca\|--mca \<param\> \<value\>*

  Pass context-specific MCA parameters; they are considered global if --gmca is not used and only one context is specified.

- *--param \<type\> \<component\>*

  Show MCA parameters.  The first parameter is the type of the component to display; the second parameter is the specific component to display (or the keyword "all", meaning "display all components of this type").

- *--parsable*

  When used in conjunction with other parameters, the output is displayed in a machine-parsable format *--parseable* Synonym for --parsable

- *--path \<type\>*

  Show paths that ORTE was configured with.  Accepts the following parameters: prefix, bindir, libdir, incdir, pkglibdir, sysconfdir.

- *--pretty*

  When used in conjunction with other parameters, the output is displayed in 'prettyprint' format (default)

- *-v\|--version \<component\> \<scope\>*

  Show version of ORTE or a component.  \<component\> can be the keywords "ompi" or "all", the name of a framework (e.g., "coll" shows all components in the coll framework), or the name of a specific component (e.g., "pls:rsh" shows the information from the rsh PLS component).  \<scope\> can be one of: full, major, minor, release, greek, svn.
