NAME

       MPI_Unpublish_name - Unpublishes a service name

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Unpublish_name(char *service_name, MPI_Info info,
            char *port_name)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE ’mpif.h’
       MPI_UNPUBLISH_NAME(SERVICE_NAME, INFO, PORT_NAME, IERROR)
            CHARACTER*(*)  SERVICE_NAME, PORT_NAME
            INTEGER        INFO, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       void MPI::Unpublish_name(const char* service_name, const MPI::Info& info,
            char* port_name)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       service_name  A service name (string).

       info          Options to the name service functions (handle).

       port_name     A port name (string).

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       IERROR        Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       This  routine  removes  the  pair  (service_name,  port_name)  so  that
       applications   may   no   longer   retrieve   port_name   by    calling
       MPI_Lookup_name.  It  is  an error to unpublish a service_name that was
       not published via MPI_Publish_name. Both the service_name and port_name
       arguments  to  MPI_Unpublish_name must be identical to the arguments to
       the previous call to MPI_Publish_name.

INFO ARGUMENTS

       The following keys for info are recognized:

       Key                   Type      Description
       ---                   ----      -----------

       ompi_global_scope     bool      If set to true, unpublish the name from
                                       the global scope.  Unpublish from the local
                                       scope otherwise.  See the NAME SCOPE
                                       section for more details.

       bool info keys are actually strings but are evaluated  as  follows:  if
       the string value is a number, it is converted to an integer and cast to
       a boolean (meaning that zero integers are false and non-zero values are
       true).   If the string value is (case-insensitive) "yes" or "true", the
       boolean is true.  If the string value  is  (case-insensitive)  "no"  or
       "false",   the   boolean   is  false.   All  other  string  values  are
       unrecognized, and therefore false.

       If no info key is provided, the function will first check to see  if  a
       global  server  has  been  specified  and is available. If so, then the
       unpublish function will default to  global  scope  first,  followed  by
       local.  Otherwise, the data will default to unpublish with local scope.

NAME SCOPE

       Open MPI supports two name scopes: global and local. Local scope values
       are  placed  in  a  data  store  located  on  the mpirun of the calling
       process’ job, while global scope values reside  on  a  central  server.
       Calls to MPI_Unpublish_name must correctly specify the scope to be used
       in finding the value to be removed. The function will return  an  error
       if the specified service name is not found on the indicated location.

       For  a  more  detailed  description  of  scoping  rules, please see the
       MPI_Publish_name man page.

ERRORS

       Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the  value
       of  the  function  and  Fortran  routines  in  the  last  argument. C++
       functions do not return errors. If the default error handler is set  to
       MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism
       will be used to throw an MPI:Exception object.

       Before the error value is returned, the current MPI  error  handler  is
       called.  By  default, this error handler aborts the MPI job, except for
       I/O  function  errors.  The  error  handler   may   be   changed   with
       MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN
       may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note  that  MPI  does
       not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.

       See the MPI man page for a full list of MPI error codes.
