FWIW, there's a section about "output formats" in the hwloc-ls.1 man page.
It's probably worth adding a sentence in there that the list in the man page
applies to the filenames; i.e., that the filename determines the output format.
Here's a snipit from the man page:
OUTPUT FORMATS
- Send a text summary to stdout.
/dev/stdout
Send a text summary to stdout. It is effectively the same as
specifying "-".
<filename>.txt
If the filename ends in ".txt", lstopo outputs an ASCII art rep-
resentation of the map.
-.txt If the entire filename is "-.txt", lstopo outputs the same ASCII
art representation as other ".txt" filenames, but with two exe-
ceptions: 1) the output is sent to stdout, and 2) if colors are
supported on the terminal, the ASCII art will be colorized.
<filename>.fig
If the filename ends in ".fig", lstopo outputs a representation
of the map that can be loaded in Xfig.
<filename>.pdf
If the filename ends in ".pdf" and lstopo was compiled with the
proper support, lstopo outputs a PDF representation of the map.
<filename>.ps
If the filename ends in ".ps" and lstopo was compiled with the
proper support, lstopo outputs a Postscript representation of
the map.
<filename>.png
If the filename ends in ".png" and lstopo was compiled with the
proper support, lstopo outputs a PNG representation of the map.
<filename>.svg
If the filename ends in ".svn" and lstopo was compiled with the
proper support, lstopo outputs an SVG representation of the map.
<filename>.xml
If the filename ends in ".xml" and lstopo was compiled with the
proper support, lstopo outputs an XML representation of the map.
It may be reused later, even on another machine, with lstopo
--xml, the HWLOC_XMLFILE environment variable, or the
hwloc_topology_set_xml() function.
See the output of "lstopo --help" for a specific list of what graphical
output formats are supported in your hwloc installation.
