NAME
MPI_Comm_get_name - Get the name associated with a communicator
SYNOPSIS
#include <mpi.h>
int
MPI_Comm_get_name(MPI_Comm comm, char *name, int *length)
INPUT PARAMETERS
comm - Communicator
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
name - Name of the communicator
length - Integer length of the resulting name
NOTES
This function returns the name of a communicator that was previously
set with MPI_Comm_set_name . If a name was not previously associated
with a communicator, the returned string will be empty and length will
be 0. The retuned name will be a maximum of MPI_MAX_OBJECT_NAME
characters long.
ERRORS
If an error occurs in an MPI function, the current MPI error handler is
called to handle it. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI
job. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Errhandler_set ; the
predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error
values to be returned (in C and Fortran; this error handler is less
useful in with the C++ MPI bindings. The predefined error handler
MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS should be used in C++ if the error value
needs to be recovered). Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI
program can continue past an error.
All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error
value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in
the last argument. The C++ bindings for MPI do not return error
values; instead, error values are communicated by throwing exceptions
of type MPI::Exception (but not by default). Exceptions are only
thrown if the error value is not MPI::SUCCESS .
Note that if the MPI::ERRORS_RETURN handler is set in C++, while MPI
functions will return upon an error, there will be no way to recover
what the actual error value was.
MPI_SUCCESS
- No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
MPI_ERR_COMM
- Invalid communicator. A common error is to use a null
communicator in a call (not even allowed in MPI_Comm_rank ).
MPI_ERR_ARG
- Invalid argument. Some argument is invalid and is not
identified by a specific error class. This is typically a NULL
pointer or other such error.
