MPI_Errhandler_set(3)              Open MPI              MPI_Errhandler_set(3)



NAME
       MPI_Errhandler_set  - Sets the error handler for a communicator -- use
       of this routine is deprecated.


SYNTAX
C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Errhandler_set(MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Errhandler errhandler)


Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_ERRHANDLER_SET(COMM, ERRHANDLER, IERROR)
            INTEGER   COMM, ERRHANDLER, IERROR



INPUT PARAMETERS
       comm      Communicator to set the error handler for (handle).

       errhandler
                 New MPI error handler for communicator (handle).


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


DESCRIPTION
       Note that use of this routine is deprecated as of MPI-2. Please use
       MPI_Comm_set_errhandler instead.

       This deprecated routine is not available in C++.

       Associates the new error handler errhandler with communicator comm at
       the calling process. Note that an error handler is always associated
       with the communicator.


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.
