NAME
MPI_Comm_group - Returns the group associated with a communicator.
SYNTAX
C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Comm_group(MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Group *group)
Fortran Syntax
USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_COMM_GROUP(COMM, GROUP, IERROR)
INTEGER COMM, GROUP, IERROR
Fortran 2008 Syntax
USE mpi_f08
MPI_Comm_group(comm, group, ierror)
TYPE(MPI_Comm), INTENT(IN) :: comm
TYPE(MPI_Group), INTENT(OUT) :: group
INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror
C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
Group Comm::Get_group() const
INPUT PARAMETER
comm Communicator.
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
group Group in communicator (handle).
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
If the communicator is an intercommunicator (enables communication be-
tween two groups of processes), this function returns the local group.
To return the remote group, use the MPI_Comm_remote_group function.
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.
