MPI_Open_port(3)                   Open MPI                   MPI_Open_port(3)

NAME
       MPI_Open_port  -  Establishes  a network address for a server to accept
       connections from clients.

SYNTAX
C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Open_port(MPI_Info info, char *port_name)

Fortran Syntax
       USE MPI
       ! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_OPEN_PORT(INFO, PORT_NAME, IERROR)
            CHARACTER*(*)  PORT_NAME
            INTEGER        INFO, IERROR

Fortran 2008 Syntax
       USE mpi_f08
       MPI_Open_port(info, port_name, ierror)
            TYPE(MPI_Info), INTENT(IN) :: info
            CHARACTER(LEN=MPI_MAX_PORT_NAME), INTENT(OUT) :: port_name
            INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       void MPI::Open_port(const MPI::Info& info, char* port_name)

INPUT PARAMETER
       info      Options on how to establish an address (handle).  No  options
                 currently supported.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
       port_name Newly established port (string).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION
       MPI_Open_port  establishes  a network address, encoded in the port_name
       string, at which the server will be able  to  accept  connections  from
       clients. port_name is supplied by the system.

       MPI  copies a system-supplied port name into port_name. port_name iden-
       tifies the newly opened port and can be used by a client to contact the
       server.  The  maximum size string that may be supplied by the system is
       MPI_MAX_PORT_NAME.

SUPPORTED INFO KEYS
       None.

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.
