MPI_Win_get_group(3) MPI MPI_Win_get_group(3)

NAME

MPI_Win_get_group - Get the MPI Group of the window object

SYNOPSIS



int MPI_Win_get_group(MPI_Win win, MPI_Group *group)










INPUT PARAMETERS



  

  
- window object (handle)
    

  








OUTPUT PARAMETERS



  

  
- group of processes which share access to the window (handle)
    

  








NOTES


The group is a duplicate of the group from the communicator used
    to create the MPI window, and should be freed with MPI_Group_free
    when it is no longer needed. This group can be used to form the group of
    neighbors for the routines MPI_Win_post and MPI_Win_start
  .










THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY


This routine is thread-safe. This means that this routine may be
    safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided
    thread locks. However, the routine is not interrupt safe. Typically, this is
    due to the use of memory allocation routines such as malloc or other
    non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.








NOTES FOR FORTRAN


All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and
    MPI_WTICK ) have an additional argument ierr at the end of the
    argument list. ierr is an integer and has the same meaning as the
    return value of the routine in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines,
    and are invoked with the call statement.


All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are
    of type INTEGER in Fortran.








ERRORS


All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick )
    return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran
    routines in the last argument. Before the value is returned, the current MPI
    error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job.
    The error handler may be changed with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for
    communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and
    MPI_Win_set_errhandler (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine
    MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated. 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; however, MPI implementations will
    attempt to continue whenever possible.





  

  
- No error; MPI routine completed successfully.

  

  
- Invalid argument. Some argument is invalid and is not identified by a
      specific error class (e.g., MPI_ERR_RANK ).

  

  
- Invalid MPI window object

  

  
- Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information about
      this error code.
