MPI_Info_dup(3)                    Open MPI                    MPI_Info_dup(3)



NAME
       MPI_Info_dup - Duplicates an info object.


SYNTAX
C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Info_dup(MPI_Info info, MPI_Info *newinfo)


Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_INFO_DUP(INFO, NEWINFO, IERROR)
            INTEGER        INFO, NEWINFO, IERROR


C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       MPI::Info MPI::Info::Dup() const


INPUT PARAMETER
       info      Info object (handle).


OUTPUT PARAMETERS
       newinfo   Info object (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).


DESCRIPTION
       MPI_Info_dup duplicates an existing info object, creating a new object,
       with the same (key,value) pairs and the same ordering of keys.


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.
