NAME

       MPI_Group_size - Returns the size of a group.

SYNTAX

C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Group_size(MPI_Group group, int *size)

Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_GROUP_SIZE(GROUP, SIZE, IERROR)
	    INTEGER   GROUP, SIZE, IERROR

C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int Group::Get_size() const

INPUT PARAMETERS

       group	 Group (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       size	 Number of processes in the group (integer).

       IERROR	 Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_Group_size  returns in size the number of processes in the group. Thus, if group = MPI_GROUP_EMPTY, then the call will return size = 0.
       On the other hand, a call with group = MPI_GROUP_NULL is erroneous.

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++ func-
       tions  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.
