NAME

6       MPI_Graph_neighbors -  Returns the neighbors of a node associated  with
7       a graph topology
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <mpi.h>
11       int MPI_Graph_neighbors(MPI_Comm comm, int rank,
12                             int maxnbrs, int *nbrs)
13

INPUT PARAMETERS

15       comm   - communicator with graph topology (handle)
16       rank   - rank of process in group of comm (integer)
17       maxnbrs
18              - size of array neighbors (integer)
19
20

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

22       nbrs   - ranks of processes that are  neighbors  to  specified  process
23              (array of integer)

NOTES FOR FORTRAN

27       All  MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have
28       an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list.   ierr  is
29       an  integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine
30       in C.  In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are  invoked  with
31       the call statement.
32
33       All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in
34       Fortran.

ERRORS

38       If an error occurs in an MPI function, the current MPI error handler is
39       called  to  handle  it.   By default, this error handler aborts the MPI
40       job.  The error handler may be changed with  MPI_Errhandler_set  ;  the
41       predefined  error  handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error
42       values to be returned (in C and Fortran; this  error  handler  is  less
43       useful  in  with  the  C++  MPI bindings.  The predefined error handler
44       MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS should be used in C++ if the  error  value
45       needs  to  be recovered).  Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI
46       program can continue past an error.
47
48       All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and  MPI_Wtick  )  return  an  error
49       value;  C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in
50       the last argument.  The C++ bindings for MPI do not return  error  val‐
51       ues;  instead,  error values are communicated by throwing exceptions of
52       type MPI::Exception (but not by default).  Exceptions are  only  thrown
53       if the error value is not MPI::SUCCESS .
54
55
56       Note  that  if  the MPI::ERRORS_RETURN handler is set in C++, while MPI
57       functions will return upon an error, there will be no  way  to  recover
58       what the actual error value was.
59       MPI_SUCCESS
60              - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
61       MPI_ERR_TOPOLOGY
62              - Invalid topology.  Either there is no topology associated with
63              this communicator, or it is not the correct type (e.g., MPI_CART
64              when expecting MPI_GRAPH ).
65       MPI_ERR_COMM
66              -  Invalid communicator.  A common error is to use a null commu‐
67              nicator in a call (not even allowed in MPI_Comm_rank ).
68       MPI_ERR_ARG
69              - Invalid argument.  Some argument is invalid and is not identi‐
70              fied  by  a  specific  error  class.   This  is typically a NULL
71              pointer or other such error.
72       MPI_ERR_RANK
73              - Invalid source or destination rank.   Ranks  must  be  between
74              zero  and  the  size  of  the communicator minus one; ranks in a
75              receive ( MPI_Recv , MPI_Irecv , MPI_Sendrecv , etc.)  may  also
76              be MPI_ANY_SOURCE .

MORE INFORMATION

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

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

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