+shows a some of parameters (and default values) for the tcp btl

+
+Note that ompi_info only shows a small number a component's MCA
+parameters by default.  Each MCA parameter has a "level" value from 1
+to 9, corresponding to the MPI-3 MPI_T tool interface levels.  In Open
+MPI, we have interpreted these nine levels as three groups of three:
+
+ 1. End user / basic
+ 2. End user / detailed
+ 3. End user / all
+
+ 4. Application tuner / basic
+ 5. Application tuner / detailed
+ 6. Application tuner / all
+
+ 7. MPI developer / basic
+ 8. MPI developer / detailed
+ 9. MPI developer / all
+
+Here's how the three sub-groups are defined:
+
+ 1. End user: Generally, these are parameters that are required for
+    correctness, meaning that someone may need to set these just to
+    get their MPI application to run correctly. 
+ 2. Application tuner: Generally, these are parameters that can be
+    used to tweak MPI application performance.
+ 3. MPI developer: Parameters that either don't fit in the other two,
+    or are specifically intended for debugging / development of Open
+    MPI itself.
+
+Each sub-group is broken down into three classifications:
+
+ 1. Basic: For parameters that everyone in this category will want to
+    see.
+ 2. Detailed: Parameters that are useful, but you probably won't need
+    to change them often.
+ 3. All: All other parameters -- probably including some fairly
+    esoteric parameters.
+
+To see *all* available parameters for a given component, specify that
+ompi_info should use level 9:
+
+  shell$ ompi_info --param btl tcp --level 9
 
 These values can be overridden at run-time in several ways.  At
 run-time, the following locations are examined (in order) for new
