pmix_value_cmp_t — Result of comparing two PMIx values

SYNTAX

C Syntax

#include <pmix_common.h>
typedef enum {


    PMIX_EQUAL,


    PMIX_VALUE1_GREATER,


    PMIX_VALUE2_GREATER,


    PMIX_VALUE_TYPE_DIFFERENT,


    PMIX_VALUE_INCOMPATIBLE_OBJECTS,


    PMIX_VALUE_COMPARISON_NOT_AVAIL
} pmix_value_cmp_t;


Python Syntax

from pmix import *
result = PMIX_EQUAL


where result is one of the pmix_value_cmp_t enumerated values.

DESCRIPTION

The pmix_value_cmp_t enumeration expresses the outcome of comparing two PMIx values (typically two pmix_value_t(5) <#man5-pmix-value-t> structures). The defined values are:

  • PMIX_EQUAL — the two values are of the same type and compare as equal.
  • PMIX_VALUE1_GREATER — the two values are of comparable type and the first value is greater than the second.
  • PMIX_VALUE2_GREATER — the two values are of comparable type and the second value is greater than the first.
  • PMIX_VALUE_TYPE_DIFFERENT — the two values carry different data types and therefore cannot be ordered against one another.
  • PMIX_VALUE_INCOMPATIBLE_OBJECTS — the two values are of the same type, but that type describes composite objects whose contents are not compatible for comparison.
  • PMIX_VALUE_COMPARISON_NOT_AVAIL — a comparison operation is not available for the given data type.

A human-readable string representation of a pmix_value_cmp_t value can be obtained from PMIx_Value_comparison_string(3) <#man3-pmix-value-comparison-string>.
