|                      | This option will be deprecated, use "--debug- |

|======================|===============================================|
| "--pmixmca <key>     | Pass context-specific PMIx MCA parameters     |
| <value>"             | ("key" is the parameter name; "value" is the  |
|                      | parameter value)                              |
+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| "--prtemca <key>     | Pass context-specific PRTE MCA parameters;    |
| <value>"             | they are considered global if "--gmca" is not |
|                      | used and only one context is specified ("key" |
|                      | is the parameter name; "value" is the         |
|                      | parameter value)                              |
+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| "--dvm-master-uri    | Specify the URI of the DVM master, or the     |
| <uri>"               | name of the file (specified as                |
|                      | "file:filename") that contains that info      |
+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| "--parent-uri <uri>" | Specify the URI of the prted acting as the    |
|                      | parent of this prted in a tree-based spawn    |
|                      | operation                                     |

+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| "--hetero-nodes"     | The allocation contains multiple topologies,  |
|                      | so optimize the launch for that scenario. For |
|                      | example, the scheduler could be allocating    |
|                      | individual CPUs instead of entire nodes, thus |
|                      | effectively creating different topologies     |
|                      | (due to differing allocated CPUs) on each     |
|                      | node.                                         |

| "--set-sid"          | Direct the DVM daemons to separate from the   |
|                      | current session                               |
