     Type of topology object.

     Note
	 Do not rely on the ordering or completeness of the values as  new  ones
	 may  be  defined  in  the  future!  If  you  need to compare types, use
	 hwloc_compare_types() instead.

     Enumerator

     HWLOC_OBJ_MACHINE
	    Machine. A set of processors and memory with cache	coherency.  This
	    type  is  always  used  for the root object of a topology, and never
	    used anywhere else. Hence its parent is always NULL.

     HWLOC_OBJ_PACKAGE
	    Physical package. The physical package that  usually  gets	inserted
	    into  a  socket on the motherboard. A processor package usually con-
	    tains multiple cores, and possibly some dies.

     HWLOC_OBJ_CORE
	    Core. A computation unit (may be shared by several PUs, aka  logical
	    processors).

     HWLOC_OBJ_PU
	    Processing	Unit,  or  (Logical)  Processor.  An execution unit (may
	    share a core with some other logical processors, e.g. in the case of
	    an SMT core). This is  the	smallest  object  representing	CPU  re-
	    sources, it cannot have any child except Misc objects.

     Objects  of  this kind are always reported and can thus be used as fallback
     when others are not.

     HWLOC_OBJ_L1CACHE
	    Level 1 Data (or Unified) Cache.

     HWLOC_OBJ_L2CACHE
	    Level 2 Data (or Unified) Cache.

     HWLOC_OBJ_L3CACHE
	    Level 3 Data (or Unified) Cache.

     HWLOC_OBJ_L4CACHE
	    Level 4 Data (or Unified) Cache.

     HWLOC_OBJ_L5CACHE
	    Level 5 Data (or Unified) Cache.

     HWLOC_OBJ_L1ICACHE
	    Level 1 instruction Cache (filtered out by default).

     HWLOC_OBJ_L2ICACHE
	    Level 2 instruction Cache (filtered out by default).

     HWLOC_OBJ_L3ICACHE
	    Level 3 instruction Cache (filtered out by default).

     HWLOC_OBJ_GROUP
	    Group objects. Objects which do not fit in the  above  but	are  de-
	    tected  by	hwloc  and are useful to take into account for affinity.
	    For instance, some operating systems expose their arbitrary  proces-
	    sors  aggregation  this  way.  And	hwloc may insert such objects to
	    group NUMA nodes according to their distances.  See  also  What  are
	    these  Group objects in my topology?. These objects are removed when
	    they do not bring any structure  (see  HWLOC_TYPE_FILTER_KEEP_STRUC-
	    TURE).

     HWLOC_OBJ_NUMANODE
	    NUMA node. An object that contains memory that is directly and byte-
	    accessible to the host processors. It is usually close to some cores
	    (the  corresponding  objects are descendants of the NUMA node object
	    in the hwloc tree). This is the smallest object representing  Memory
	    resources,	it cannot have any child except Misc objects. However it
	    may have Memory-side cache parents.

     NUMA nodes may correspond to different kinds of  memory  (DRAM,  HBM,  CXL-
     DRAM,  etc.). When hwloc is able to guess that kind, it is specified in the
     subtype field of the object. See also Normal attributes in the  main  docu-
     mentation.

     There  is	always	at least one such object in the topology even if the ma-
     chine is not NUMA.

     Memory objects are not listed in the main children list, but rather in  the
     dedicated Memory children list.

     NUMA nodes have a special depth HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_NUMANODE instead of a nor-
     mal depth just like other objects in the main tree.

     HWLOC_OBJ_BRIDGE
	    Bridge  (filtered  out  by default). Any bridge (or PCI switch) that
	    connects the host or an I/O bus, to another I/O bus. Bridges are not
	    added to  the  topology  unless  their  filtering  is  changed  (see
	    hwloc_topology_set_type_filter()	       and	    hwloc_topol-
	    ogy_set_io_types_filter()).

     I/O objects are not listed in the main children list,  but  rather  in  the
     dedicated io children list. I/O objects have NULL CPU and node sets.

     HWLOC_OBJ_PCI_DEVICE
	    PCI  device  (filtered out by default). PCI devices are not added to
	    the topology unless their filtering  is  changed  (see  hwloc_topol-
	    ogy_set_type_filter() and hwloc_topology_set_io_types_filter()).

     I/O  objects  are	not  listed in the main children list, but rather in the
     dedicated io children list. I/O objects have NULL CPU and node sets.

     HWLOC_OBJ_OS_DEVICE
	    Operating system device (filtered out by default).	OS  devices  are
	    not  added	to  the  topology unless their filtering is changed (see
	    hwloc_topology_set_type_filter()	      and	    hwloc_topol-
	    ogy_set_io_types_filter()).

     I/O  objects  are	not  listed in the main children list, but rather in the
     dedicated io children list. I/O objects have NULL CPU and node sets.

     HWLOC_OBJ_MISC
	    Miscellaneous objects (filtered out  by  default).	Objects  without
	    particular	meaning,  that	can e.g. be added by the application for
	    its own use, or by hwloc for miscellaneous objects such  as  Memory-
	    Module (DIMMs). They are not added to the topology unless their fil-
	    tering is changed (see hwloc_topology_set_type_filter()).

     These  objects  are not listed in the main children list, but rather in the
     dedicated misc children list. Misc objects may only have  Misc  objects  as
     children,	and  those are in the dedicated misc children list as well. Misc
     objects have NULL CPU and node sets.

     HWLOC_OBJ_MEMCACHE
	    Memory-side cache (filtered out by default). A cache in front  of  a
	    specific NUMA node. This object always has at least one NUMA node as
	    a memory child.

     Memory  objects are not listed in the main children list, but rather in the
     dedicated Memory children list.

     Memory-side cache have a special depth HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_MEMCACHE instead of
     a normal depth just like other objects in the main tree.

     HWLOC_OBJ_DIE
	    Die within a physical package. A subpart of  the  physical	package,
	    that  contains  multiple  cores. Some operating systems (e.g. Linux)
	    may expose a single die per package even if the  hardware  does  not
	    support  dies at all. To avoid showing such non-existing dies, hwloc
	    will filter them out if all of them are identical to packages.  This
	    is functionally equivalent to HWLOC_TYPE_FILTER_KEEP_STRUCTURE being
	    enforced for Dies versus Packages.

Function Documentation
   int hwloc_compare_types (hwloc_obj_type_t type1, hwloc_obj_type_t type2)
     Compare  the depth of two object types. Types shouldn't be compared as they
     are, since newer ones may be added in the future.

     Returns
	 A negative integer if type1 objects usually include type2 objects.

	 A positive integer if type1 objects are usually included in  type2  ob-
	 jects.

	 0 if type1 and type2 objects are the same.

	 HWLOC_TYPE_UNORDERED  if objects cannot be compared (because neither is
	 usually contained in the other).

     Note
	 Object types containing CPUs can always be compared (usually, a machine
	 contains packages, which contain caches,  which  contain  cores,  which
	 contain PUs).

	 HWLOC_OBJ_PU will always be the deepest, while HWLOC_OBJ_MACHINE is al-
	 ways the highest.

	 This  does  not  mean that the actual topology will respect that order:
	 e.g. as of today cores may also contain caches, and packages  may  also
	 contain  nodes.  This	is thus just to be seen as a fallback comparison
	 method.
