INPUT PARAMETERS


DESCRIPTION

Compare two ranks for equality, honoring wildcard semantics. The two ranks are considered equal if their values are identical, or if either value is PMIX_RANK_WILDCARD, in which case the wildcard matches any rank.

RETURN VALUE

Returns true if the ranks are equal, or if either rank is PMIX_RANK_WILDCARD; returns false otherwise.

NOTES

PMIx_Check_rank is an OpenPMIx convenience routine and is the backing implementation of the PMIX_CHECK_RANK macro.
