18.3.18.2. DESCRIPTION

The pmix_value_cmp_t enumeration expresses the outcome of comparing two PMIx values (typically two pmix_value_t(5) structures). The defined values are:

PMIX_EQUAL — the two values are of the same type and compare as equal.
PMIX_VALUE1_GREATER — the two values are of comparable type and the first value is greater than the second.
PMIX_VALUE2_GREATER — the two values are of comparable type and the second value is greater than the first.
PMIX_VALUE_TYPE_DIFFERENT — the two values carry different data types and therefore cannot be ordered against one another.
PMIX_VALUE_INCOMPATIBLE_OBJECTS — the two values are of the same type, but that type describes composite objects whose contents are not compatible for comparison.
PMIX_VALUE_COMPARISON_NOT_AVAIL — a comparison operation is not available for the given data type.

A human-readable string representation of a pmix_value_cmp_t value can be obtained from PMIx_Value_comparison_string(3).
