SINFO Options

Delimit all SINFO options with spaces (blanks), but delimit items in option-argument lists with commas

unless otherwise noted (-o requires space-delimited arguments, for example). Enclose all argument lists

in quotes (") for greater reliability. This section lists SINFO's control options alphabetically except for -o,

which gets a separate subsection at the end because of its elaborate format-speciﬁcation language.

HELP OPTIONS.

--help displays a brief SINFO options summary, one line per option, giving both the

single-character and Linux-syntax versions of each option along with a very short

note on its role (and some argument hints).

--usage displays a MAN-format syntax summary for SINFO (shows option letters but no

explanatory clues). For more vebose help, use --help.

CONTROL OPTIONS.

-a (lowercase, --all)

reports on partitions that are conﬁgured as hidden and partitions that are unavailable

to the user's group (if any). To report on fewer or speciﬁc partitions, use -p. To report

more output ﬁelds (columns), use -l. Option --hide undoes -all.

-d (lowercase, --dead)

reports the count of nonresponding ("dead") nodes for each partition (if there are any;

often 0) and includes STATE and NODELIST information only for those (if any).

-e (lowercase, --exact)

(applies only when reporting CPU count, memory size, or disk space using -o or -Nl)

does not group node information on multiple nodes unless their conﬁgurations are

identical. By default (without -e), SINFO may report CPU count, memory size, and

disk space for nodes in the same partition and state with a minimum value followed

by a plus sign (e.g., "250+").

-h (lowercase, --noheader)

omits the explanatory heads from SINFO's tabular output (for easier reuse of the text).

--hide (no one-character version)

suppresses reports on all partitions declared hidden or not available to the user's group

(the default; --all undoes --hide).

-i sec (lowercase, --iterate=sec)

repeatedly gathers and reports the status information (as speciﬁed by other options)

every sec seconds. Use CTRL-C to stop this iterated display.
