MPI_Lookup_name(3)							MPI							MPI_Lookup_name(3)

NAME

       MPI_Lookup_name -  Lookup a port given a service name

SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_Lookup_name(char *service_name, MPI_Info info, char *port_name)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       service_name
	      - a service name (string)
       info   - implementation-specific information (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       port_name
	      - a port name (string)

NOTES

       If  the service_name is found, MPI copies the associated value into port_name .	The maximum size string that may be supplied by the system
       is MPI_MAX_PORT_NAME .

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 guarentee that an MPI program can
       continue past an error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.

       MPI_SUCCESS
	      - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
       MPI_ERR_INFO
	      - Invalid Info
       MPI_ERR_OTHER
	      - Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information about this error code.
       MPI_ERR_ARG
	      - Invalid argument.  Some argument is invalid and is not identified by a specific error class (e.g., MPI_ERR_RANK ).

NAME

       MPI_Error_string -  Return a string for a given error code

SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_Error_string(int errorcode, char *string, int *resultlen)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       errorcode
	      - Error code returned by an MPI routine or an MPI error class

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       string - Text that corresponds to the errorcode
       resultlen
	      - Length of string

	      Notes:   Error codes are the values return by MPI routines (in C) or in the ierr argument (in Fortran).  These can be converted into
	      error classes with the routine MPI_Error_class .
