Returns the depth of objects of type type.
If no object of this type is present on the underlying architecture, or if the OS doesn't provide this kind of information, the function returns HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_UNKNOWN.
If type is absent but a similar type is acceptable, see also hwloc_get_type_or_below_depth() and hwloc_get_type_or_above_depth().
If some objects of the given type exist in different levels, for instance L1 and L2 caches, the function returns HWLOC_TYPE_DEPTH_MULTIPLE.
