NAME

6       MPI_Group_incl  -  Produces a group by reordering an existing group and
7       taking only listed members
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <mpi.h>
11       int MPI_Group_incl(MPI_Group g, int n, int *ranks,
12                         MPI_Group *png)
13

INPUT PARAMETERS

15       g      - group (handle)
16       n      - number of elements in array ranks  (and  size  of  newgroup  )
17              (integer)
18       ranks  - ranks of processes in g to appear in png (array of integers)
19
20

OUTPUT PARAMETER

22       png    -  new  group  derived from above, in the order defined by ranks
23              (handle)

25

NOTES

27       When a group  is  no  longer  being  used,  it  should  be  freed  with
28       MPI_Group_free .

NOTES FOR FORTRAN

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

ERRORS

44       If an error occurs in an MPI function, the current MPI error handler is
45       called  to  handle  it.   By default, this error handler aborts the MPI
46       job.  The error handler may be changed with  MPI_Errhandler_set  ;  the
47       predefined  error  handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error
48       values to be returned (in C and Fortran; this  error  handler  is  less
49       useful  in  with  the  C++  MPI bindings.  The predefined error handler
50       MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS should be used in C++ if the  error  value
51       needs  to  be recovered).  Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI
52       program can continue past an error.
53
54       All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and  MPI_Wtick  )  return  an  error
55       value;  C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in
56       the last argument.  The C++ bindings for MPI do not return  error  val‐
57       ues;  instead,  error values are communicated by throwing exceptions of
58       type MPI::Exception (but not by default).  Exceptions are  only  thrown
59       if the error value is not MPI::SUCCESS .
60
61
62       Note  that  if  the MPI::ERRORS_RETURN handler is set in C++, while MPI
63       functions will return upon an error, there will be no  way  to  recover
64       what the actual error value was.
65       MPI_SUCCESS
66              - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
67       MPI_ERR_GROUP
68              - Null group passed to function.
69       MPI_ERR_OTHER
70              - This error is returned when some part of the LAM/MPI implemen‐
71              tation is unable to acquire memory.
72       MPI_ERR_ARG
73              - Invalid argument.  Some argument is invalid and is not identi‐
74              fied  by  a  specific  error  class.   This  is typically a NULL
75              pointer or other such error.
76       MPI_ERR_RANK
77              - Invalid source or destination rank.   Ranks  must  be  between
78              zero  and  the  size  of  the communicator minus one; ranks in a
79              receive ( MPI_Recv , MPI_Irecv , MPI_Sendrecv , etc.)  may  also
80              be MPI_ANY_SOURCE .

MORE INFORMATION

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

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

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