+The set of properties is machine specific, and depends on used

+@var{distance} is the NUMA distance from @var{source} to @var{destination}.
+The distance from a node to itself is always 10. If any pair of nodes is

+the distances in the opposite directions are assumed to be the same. If,
+however, an asymmetrical pair of distances is given for even one node
+pair, then all node pairs must be provided distance values for both
+directions, even when they are symmetrical. When a node is unreachable

Note that the -@option{numa} option doesn't allocate any of the
specified resources, it just assigns existing resources to NUMA
nodes. This means that one still has to use the @option{-m},
