MPI_Comm_free_keyval(3)            Open MPI            MPI_Comm_free_keyval(3)

NAME
       MPI_Comm_free_keyval  -  Frees attribute key for communicator cache at-
       tribute.

SYNTAX
C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Comm_free_keyval(int *comm_keyval)

Fortran Syntax
       USE MPI
       ! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_COMM_FREE_KEYVAL(COMM_KEYVAL, IERROR)
            INTEGER   COMM_KEYVAL, IERROR

Fortran 2008 Syntax
       USE mpi_f08
       MPI_Comm_free_keyval(comm_keyval, ierror)
            INTEGER, INTENT(INOUT) :: comm_keyval
            INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       static void MPI::Comm::Free_keyval(int& comm_keyval)

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER
       comm_keyval

OUTPUT PARAMETER
       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION
       MPI_Comm_free_keyval frees an extant attribute key. This function  sets
       the  value  of keyval to  MPI_KEYVAL_INVALID. Note that it is not erro-
       neous to free an attribute key that is in use, because the actual  free
       does  not  transpire until after all references (in other communicators
       on the process) to the key have been freed. These references need to be
       explicitly    freed    by    the   program,   either   via   calls   to
       MPI_Comm_delete_attr that free one attribute instance, or by  calls  to
       MPI_Comm_free  that  free  all  attribute instances associated with the
       freed communicator.

       This call is identical to the call MPI_Keyval_free  but  is  needed  to
       match  the   communicator-specific  creation function introduced in the
       MPI-2 standard. The use of MPI_Keyval_free is deprecated.

NOTES
       Key values are global (they can be used with  any  and  all  communica-
       tors).

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++  func-
       tions  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.
