MPI_Attr_get(3) Open MPI MPI_Attr_get(3)
NAME
MPI_Attr_get - Retrieves attribute value by key -- use of this routine
is deprecated.
SYNTAX
C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Attr_get(MPI_Comm comm, int keyval,void *attribute_val,
int *flag )
Fortran Syntax
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_ATTR_GET(COMM, KEYVAL, ATTRIBUTE_VAL, FLAG, IERROR)
INTEGER COMM, KEYVAL, ATTRIBUTE_VAL, IERROR
LOGICAL FLAG
INPUT PARAMETERS
comm Communicator to which attribute is attached (handle).
keyval
Key value (integer).
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
attribute_val
Attribute value, unless flag = false.
flag True if an attribute value was extracted; false if no attri-
bute is associated with the key.
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
Note that use of this routine is deprecated as of MPI-2, and was
deleted in MPI-3. Please use MPI_Comm_get_attr. This function does not
have a C++ or mpi_f08 binding.
Retrieves attribute value by key. The call is erroneous if there is no
key with value keyval. On the other hand, the call is correct if the
key value exists, but no attribute is attached on comm for that key; in
such case, the call returns flag = false. In particular MPI_KEYVAL_IN-
VALID is an erroneous key value.
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.
