[mpich-discuss] Parsing mpirun global options in main C

[BAKER, MYLES D. (LARC-E302)]

I'm by no means an expert, but it appears you are trying to parse arguments that are outside of the scope of your C program.

You might try wrapping an environment script around your mpirun calls and  C program. Do you use a job scheduler?

Good luck,

Subject: [mpich-discuss] Parsing mpirun global options in main C

Hi,

I am trying to parse the command line global options for mpirun in the main section of my C program. For example, when I run:

mpirun -np 2 -machinefile hostfile ./myprogram 100

I would like to parse the seven arguments instead of these two only: "./myprogram" and "100".

I tried to parse the arguments before the MPI_Init call but at this point I already got only two arguments, I guess the mpirun executable "eats" the MPI specific arguments. I can't find the way to do that.

Thank you in advance,
