NAME

       pvm_getmwid, pvm_setmwid - Get or set wait ID of a message.
       [In Version 3.4: Relaced by pvm_getminfo and pvm_setminfo]

SYNOPSIS

       C    int info = pvm_getmwid( int bufid )
	    int info = pvm_setmwid( int bufid, int waitid )

       Fortran	 Not Available

PARAMETERS

       bufid   Message buffer identifier.

       waitid  Wait identifier number.

DESCRIPTION

       A  wait	identifier  is	part  of a message (like the source, destination, tag and body).  It is used to match a reply to the corresponding
       request.

       The default wait ID for a message is zero (none).

       pvm_getmwid returns the wait ID associated with a message buffer, or a negative error code.

       pvm_setmwid assigns a new wait ID to a message buffer.  It returns PvmOk unless an error occurs.

EXAMPLES

	    int src, tag;

	    pvm_recv(-1, -1);
	    /* ... process, compose reply message */
	    pvm_setmwid(pvm_getsbuf(), pvm_getmwid(pvm_getrbuf()));
	    pvm_bufinfo(pvm_getrbuf(), (int *)0, &tag, &src);
	    pvm_send(src, tag);

ERRORS

       The following error conditions can be returned by pvm_getmwid or pvm_setmwid:

       PvmBadParam
	      Invalid value for bufid argument.

       PvmNoSuchBuf
	      Message buffer bufid doesn't exist.
