MPI_Add_error_string(3OpenMPI)                                                MPI_Add_error_string(3OpenMPI)



NAME
       MPI_Add_error_string - Associates a string with an error code or class


SYNTAX
C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Add_error_string(int errorcode, char *string)


Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_ADD_ERROR_STRING(ERRORCODE, STRING, IERROR)
            INTEGER        ERRORCODE, IERROR
            CHARACTER*(*)  STRING


C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       void MPI::Add_error_string(int errorcode, const char* string)


INPUT PARAMETERS
       errorcode     MPI error class, or an error code returned by an MPI routine (integer).

       string        Text that corresponds to the error code or class (string).


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


DESCRIPTION
       This routine associates an error string with an error code or class. Calling MPI_Add_error_string for
       an error code or class that already has an associated error string will replace the old  string  with
       the  new  one.  It  is  erroneous  to  call MPI_Add_error_string for an error value not generated via
       MPI_Add_error_class or MPI_Add_error_code (e.g., an error code or class with a value not greater than
       MPI_LAST_ERRCODE).


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++ functions 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.
