NAME
       MPI_Group_compare  - Compares two groups.

SYNTAX
C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Group_compare(MPI_Group group1, MPI_Group group2,
	    int *result)

Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_GROUP_COMPARE(GROUP1, GROUP2, RESULT, IERROR)
	    INTEGER   GROUP1, GROUP2, RESULT, IERROR

C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       static int Group::Compare(const Group& group1, const Group& group2)

INPUT PARAMETERS
       group1	 First group (handle).

       group2	 Second group (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
       result	 Integer which is MPI_IDENT if the order and members of the two groups are the same, MPI_SIMILAR if only the members are the same,
		 and MPI_UNEQUAL otherwise.

       IERROR	 Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION
       MPI_IDENT results if the group members and group order is exactly the same in both groups. This happens for instance if group1  and  group2
       are the same handle. MPI_SIMILAR results if the group members are the same but the order is different. MPI_UNEQUAL results otherwise.

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.
