NAME

6       MPI_Error_string -  Return a string for a given error code
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <mpi.h>
10       int MPI_Error_string(int errcode, char *msg,
11                           int *plen)
12

INPUT PARAMETERS

14       errcode
15              - Error code returned by an MPI routine or an MPI error class
16
17

OUTPUT PARAMETER

19       msg    - Text that corresponds to the errorcode
20       plen   - Length of string

NOTES

24       Error codes are the values return by MPI routines (in C) or in the ierr
25       argument (in Fortran).  These can be converted into error classes  with
26       the routine MPI_Error_class .

31       please  submit  requests  to  the LAM mailing list (see http://www.lam-

NOTES FOR FORTRAN

36       All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK )  have
37       an  additional  argument ierr at the end of the argument list.  ierr is
38       an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the  routine
39       in  C.   In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with
40       the call statement.
41
42       All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in
43       Fortran.

MORE INFORMATION

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

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

57       The LAM Team would like the thank the MPICH Team for the handy  program
58       to  generate  man  pages ("doctext" from ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/sow‐
59       ing/sowing.tar.gz ), the initial formatting, and some initial text  for
60       most of the MPI-1 man pages.
