An mpiexec manpage may include this name to get the common arguments. /*N mpiexecstdargs + \-n num - number of processes . \-host hostname - name of a host (machine, system) on which to run . \-arch architecture_name - name of the computer architecture required for this executable . \-wdir working_directory - The working directory to use when running the executable (set before the executable starts) . \-path pathlist - use this to find the executable . \-soft list - comma separated triplets specifying valid numbers of processes . \-file name - implementation-defined specification file - \-configfile name - file containing specifications of host/program, one per line, with # as a comment indicator, e.g., the usual mpiexec input, but with ":" replaced with a newline. That is, the configfile contains lines with '-soft', '-n' etc. N*/
