| | current environmental variables starting with |

| | AND their libraries on remote nodes. Note |
| | that an assumption is made that the libraries |
| | will be located at the same subdirectory as |
| | per the configuration options given when |
| | PRRTE was built. |
+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| "--pmix-prefix <dir>" | Prefix to be used to look for the PMIx |

+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| "--singleton <id>" | ID of the singleton process that started us |
+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| "--tmpdir <dir>" | Set the root for the session directory tree |
+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| "--tune <files>" | File(s) containing MCA params for tuning DVM |
| | operations |
+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| "--dvm <arg>" | Use a persistent DVM instead of instantiating |
| | independent runtime infrastructure. The |
| | argument indicates the PID, URI, file |
| | containing the URI, or namespace of the DVM. |
+----------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| "--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. |
