MPI_Group_excl(3OpenMPI)                                                            MPI_Group_excl(3OpenMPI)



NAME
       MPI_Group_excl - Produces a group by reordering an existing group and taking only unlisted members.


SYNTAX
C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Group_excl(MPI_Group group, int n, int *ranks,
            MPI_Group *newgroup)


Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_GROUP_EXCL(GROUP, N, RANKS, NEWGROUP, IERROR)
            INTEGER   GROUP, N, RANKS(*), NEWGROUP, IERROR


C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       Group Group::Excl(int n, const int ranks[]) const


INPUT PARAMETERS
       group     Group (handle).

       n         Number of elements in array ranks (integer).

       ranks     Array of integer ranks in group not to appear in newgroup.


OUTPUT PARAMETERS
       newgroup  New group derived from above, preserving the order defined by group (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).


DESCRIPTION
       The  function  MPI_Group_excl creates a group of processes newgroup that is obtained by deleting from
       group those processes with ranks ranks[0], ... ranks[n-1]. The ordering of processes in  newgroup  is
       identical to the ordering in group. Each of the n elements of ranks must be a valid rank in group and
       all elements must be distinct; otherwise, the call is erroneous. If n = 0, then newgroup is identical
       to group.


NOTE
       Currently,  each  of  the ranks to exclude must be a valid rank in the group and all elements must be
       distinct or the function is erroneous. This restriction is per the draft.


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.
