	   HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_OS_DEVICE }

   Functions
	unsigned hwloc_topology_get_depth (hwloc_topology_t restrict topology)
	int hwloc_get_type_depth (hwloc_topology_t topology, hwloc_obj_type_t type)
	hwloc_obj_type_t hwloc_get_depth_type (hwloc_topology_t topology, unsigned depth)

Detailed Description
       Be sure to see the figure in Terms and Definitions that shows a complete topology tree, including depths, child/sibling/cousin
       relationships, and an example of an asymmetric topology where one socket has fewer caches than its peers.

Enumeration Type Documentation
   enum hwloc_get_type_depth_e
       Enumerator:

       HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_UNKNOWN
	      No object of given type exists in the topology.

       HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_MULTIPLE
	      Objects of given type exist at different depth in the topology.

       HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_BRIDGE
	      Virtual depth for bridge object level.

       HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_PCI_DEVICE
	      Virtual depth for PCI device object level.

       HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_OS_DEVICE
	      Virtual depth for software device object level.

Function Documentation
    hwloc_obj_type_t hwloc_get_depth_type (hwloc_topology_ttopology, unsigneddepth)
       Returns the type of objects at depth depth. Returns:
	   -1 if depth depth does not exist.

    unsigned hwloc_get_nbobjs_by_depth (hwloc_topology_ttopology, unsigneddepth)
       Returns the width of level at depth depth.

   static inline int hwloc_get_nbobjs_by_type (hwloc_topology_ttopology, hwloc_obj_type_ttype) [static]
       Returns the width of level type type. If no object for that type exists, 0 is returned. If there are several levels with objects of that
       type, -1 is returned.

    int hwloc_get_type_depth (hwloc_topology_ttopology, hwloc_obj_type_ttype)
       Returns the depth of objects of type type. If no object of this type is present on the underlying architecture, or if the OS doesn't
       provide this kind of information, the function returns HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_UNKNOWN.

       If type is absent but a similar type is acceptable, see also hwloc_get_type_or_below_depth() and hwloc_get_type_or_above_depth().

       If some objects of the given type exist in different levels, for instance L1 and L2 caches, the function returns HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_MULTIPLE.

       If an I/O object type is given, the function returns a virtual value because I/O objects are stored in special levels that are not CPU-
       related. This virtual depth may be passed to other hwloc functions such as hwloc_get_obj_by_depth() but it should not be considered as an
       actual depth by the application. In particular, it should not be compared with any other object depth or with the entire topology depth.

    unsigned hwloc_topology_get_depth (hwloc_topology_t restricttopology)
       Get the depth of the hierarchical tree of objects. This is the depth of HWLOC_OBJ_PU objects plus one.

    int hwloc_topology_is_thissystem (hwloc_topology_t restricttopology)
       Does the topology context come from this system? Returns:
	   1 if this topology context was built using the system running this program.

	   0 instead (for instance if using another file-system root, a XML topology file, or a synthetic topology).
