NAME

6       MPI_Open_port -  Establish a server port for client MPI connections

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <mpi.h>
10       int
11       MPI_Open_port(MPI_Info info, char* port_name)
12

INPUT PARAMETERS

14       info   - extra information handle
15       port_name
16              - newly established port

NOTES FOR FORTRAN

20       All  MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have
21       an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list.   ierr  is
22       an  integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine
23       in C.  In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are  invoked  with
24       the call statement.
25
26       All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in
27       Fortran.

USAGE WITH IMPI EXTENSIONS

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

ERRORS

36       If an error occurs in an MPI function, the current MPI error handler is
37       called to handle it.  By default, this error  handler  aborts  the  MPI
38       job.   The  error  handler may be changed with MPI_Errhandler_set ; the
39       predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to  cause  error
40       values  to  be  returned  (in C and Fortran; this error handler is less
41       useful in with the C++ MPI  bindings.   The  predefined  error  handler
42       MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS  should  be used in C++ if the error value
43       needs to be recovered).  Note that MPI does not guarantee that  an  MPI
44       program can continue past an error.
45
46       All  MPI  routines  (except  MPI_Wtime  and MPI_Wtick ) return an error
47       value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines  in
48       the  last  argument.  The C++ bindings for MPI do not return error val‐
49       ues; instead, error values are communicated by throwing  exceptions  of
50       type  MPI::Exception  (but not by default).  Exceptions are only thrown
51       if the error value is not MPI::SUCCESS .
52
53
54       Note that if the MPI::ERRORS_RETURN handler is set in  C++,  while  MPI
55       functions  will  return  upon an error, there will be no way to recover
56       what the actual error value was.
57       MPI_ERR_OTHER
58              - Other error; use  MPI_Error_string  to  get  more  information
59              about this error code.
60       MPI_ERR_INTERN
61              -  An  internal error has been detected.  This is fatal.  Please
62              send a bug report to the LAM mailing list  (see  http://www.lam-
63              mpi.org/contact.php ).

MORE INFORMATION

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