.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
.B ompi_info
provides detailed information about the Open MPI installation.  It can
be useful for at least three common scenarios:
.PP
1. Checking local configuration and seeing how Open MPI was installed.
.PP
2. Submitting bug reports / help requests to the Open MPI community
(see 
.IR http://www.open-mpi.org/community/help/ )
.PP
3. Seeing a list of installed Open MPI plugins and querying what 
MCA parameters they support.
.
