NAME¶

MPI_Comm_get_errhandler - Retrieves error handler associated with a communicator.

SYNTAX¶

C Syntax¶

#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Comm_get_errhandler(MPI_Comm comm,
	MPI_Errhandler *errhandler)

Fortran Syntax¶

USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_COMM_GET_ERRHANDLER(COMM, ERRHANDLER, IERROR)
	INTEGER	COMM, ERRHANDLER, IERROR

Fortran 2008 Syntax¶

USE mpi_f08
MPI_Comm_get_errhandler(comm, errhandler, ierror)
	TYPE(MPI_Comm), INTENT(IN) :: comm
	TYPE(MPI_Errhandler), INTENT(OUT) :: errhandler
	INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

C++ Syntax¶

#include <mpi.h>
MPI::Errhandler MPI::Comm::Get_errhandler() const

INPUT PARAMETER¶

comm

Communicator (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS¶

errhandler

New error handler for communicator (handle).

IERROR

Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION¶

MPI_Comm_get_errhandler retrieves the error handler currently associated with a communicator. This call is identical to MPI_Errhandler_get, the use of which is deprecated.

ERRORS¶

Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. C++ functions do not return errors. If the default error handler is set to MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism will be used to throw an MPI::Exception object.

Before the error value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job, except for I/O function errors. The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.

See the MPI man page for a full list of MPI error codes.
