#
# CONNECTION OPTIONS
#
#
[uri]
Specify the URI of the DVM master, or the name of the file (specified as
file:filename) that contains that info
#
[num-connect-retries]
Max number of times to try to connect to the specified server (int)
#
[pid]
PID of the daemon to which we should connect (int => PID or file:<file>
for file containing the PID
#
[namespace]
Namespace of the daemon we are to connect to (char*)
#
[nspace]
Namespace of the daemon we are to connect to (char*) - synonym for "namespace"
#
[system-server-first]
First look for a system server and connect to it if found
#
[system-server-only]
Connect only to a system-level server - abort if one is not found
#
[tmpdir]
Define the root location for the session directory tree where the
rendezvous files can be found.

The rendezvous files contain connection information for a target
server and are located in the session directory tree. It may be necessary to point the
tool at the location where those files can be found if that location is other than the
expected default.

The root of the session directory defaults to the system temporary directory
as defined in the environment using (in precedence order) the envars TMPDIR, TEMP, and
finally TMP. In the absence of any of those variables, PMIx will default to the "/tmp"
location.
#
[wait-to-connect]
Delay specified number of seconds before trying to connect
#
#  PCTRL-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
#
[request-id]
String identifier for this job control request. The request ID can be used for
subsequent query of request status and/or cancellation of the request. Note that
a request ID that matches a currently active request will be rejected - so care should be taken
to ensure that the ID provided is unique and not currently in use.
#
[pause]
Pause the specified processes. This typically takes the form of applying a SIGSTOP
to the specified processes. The pctrl tool will return a status indicating whether
or not the operation succeeded.
#
[resume]
Direct the specified processes to resume execution. This typically takes the form
of applying a SIGCONT signal to the specified processes. The pctrl tool will return
a status indicating whether or not the operation succeeded.
#
[cancel]
Cancel the specified request ID. The provided ID must match the ID provided to
a prior request - if the ID cannot be found, then a PMIX_ERR_NOT_FOUND status
shall be returned by pctrl.
#
[kill]
Force terminate the specified processes. Precise behavior depends upon the
runtime environment. However, typically the specified processes will receive
the following sequence of signals:

  * SIGCONT - wakeup a sleeping process
  * SIGTERM - provide a trappable signal indicating that the process
              should cleanly exit, if possible
  * SIGKILL - forcibly terminate the process

The pctrl tool will return a status indicating whether or not the operation
succeeded (i.e., all processes exited).
#
[terminate]
Politely terminate the specified processes. Precise behavior depends upon the
runtime environment. However, typically the specified processes will receive
the following sequence of signals:

  * SIGCONT - wakeup a sleeping process
  * SIGTERM - provide a trappable signal indicating that the process
              should cleanly exit, if possible

The pctrl tool will return a status indicating whether or not the operation
succeeded (i.e., the processes terminated)
#
[signal]
Provide the specified processes with the given signal. Signals are to be
provided via their name (e.g., SIGTERM, SIGKILL) or an integer value
(e.g., -9).
#
[restart]
"Un-pause" the specified processes - usually implemented by applying a
SIGCONT signal to the processes.
#
[checkpoint]
Checkpoint the specified processes and assign the given ID to it. The checkpoint
operation will be conducted according to the method specified when the processes
were originally spawned. Support for this operation therefore depends both on the
capabilities of the runtime environment _and_ the application being told to
checkpoint.
#
[pset]
Define a new pset (with the given name) whose membership is comprised of the
specified processes.
#
[targets]
Comma-delimited list of target processes for the requested job-control
operation. Wildcard ranks (e.g., to apply the request to all processes
in the specified namespace) can be indicated with an asterisk ('*'). Syntax
requires that each process be identified as "nspace:rank". Note that
typical command line restrictions may necessitate the use of special
delimiters - e.g., "my\;weird.nspace:5".
