NAME
       MPI_Errhandler_get  - Gets the error handler for a communicator -- use of this routine is deprecated.

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

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

INPUT PARAMETER
       comm	 Communicator to get the error handler from (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
       errhandler
		 MPI error handler currently associated with communicator (handle).

       IERROR	 Fortran only: Error status (integer).

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

       This deprecated routine is not available in C++.

       Returns in errhandler (a handle to) the error handler that is currently associated with communicator comm.

       Example: A library function may register at its entry point the current error handler for a communicator, set its own private error handler
       for this communicator, and restore before exiting the previous error handler.

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.
