NAME

       MPI_Win_post -  Starts an RMA exposure epoch for a local window

SYNOPSIS

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Win_post(MPI_Group group, int assertion, MPI_Win win)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       group  - group of origin processes (handle)
       assertion
              - program assertion (integer)
       win    - window object (handle)

NOTES

       Starts  an RMA exposure epoch for the local window associated with win.
       Only processes in group should access the window with RMA calls on  win
       during  this epoch. Each process in group must issue a matching call to
       MPI_WIN_START. MPI_WIN_POST does not block.

NOTES FOR FORTRAN

       All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK )  have
       an  additional  argument ierr at the end of the argument list.  ierr is
       an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the  routine
       in  C.   In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with
       the call statement.

       All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in
       Fortran.

USAGE WITH IMPI EXTENSIONS

       The  IMPI standard only supports MPI-1 functions.  Hence, this function
       is currently not designed to operate within an IMPI job.

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_WIN
              -  Invalid  window.  A common error is to use a null window in a
              call.
       MPI_ERR_GROUP
              - Null group passed to function.
       MPI_ERR_EPOCH
              - This error indicates than an operation has been attempted on a
              "closed"  window.  Certain  one-sided  operations  can  only  be
              performed  on  windows  whose  epoch  has  been   started   with
              MPI_Win_start.

       For more information, please see the official MPI Forum web site, which
       contains the text  of  both  the  MPI-1  and  MPI-2  standards.   These
       documents contain detailed information about each MPI function (most of
       which is not duplicated in these man pages).
