NAME

       MPI_Comm_accept	- Establishes communication with a client.

SYNTAX

C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Comm_accept(char *port_name, MPI_Info info, int root, MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Comm *newcomm)

Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_COMM_ACCEPT(PORT_NAME, INFO, ROOT, COMM, NEWCOMM, IERROR)
	    CHARACTER*(*)  PORT_NAME
	    INTEGER	   INFO, ROOT, COMM, NEWCOMM, IERROR

C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       MPI::Intercomm MPI::Intracomm::Accept(const char* port_name,
	    const MPI::Info& info, int root) const

INPUT PARAMETERS

       port_name Port name (string, used only on root).

       info	 Options given by root for the accept (handle, used only on root). No options currently supported.

       root	 Rank in comm of root node (integer).

       comm	 Intracommunicator over which call is collective (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       newcomm	 Intercommunicator with client as remote group (handle)

       IERROR	 Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_Comm_accept	establishes  communication  with a client. It is collective over the calling communicator. It returns an intercommunicator
       that allows communication with the client, after the client has connected with the  MPI_Comm_accept  function  using  the  MPI_Comm_connect
       function.

       The port_name must have been established through a call to MPI_Open_port on the root.

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.

       See the MPI man page for a full list of MPI error codes.

NAME

       MPI_Comm_disconnect - Deallocates communicator object and sets handle to MPI_COMM_NULL.

SYNTAX

C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Comm_disconnect(MPI_Comm *comm)

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

C++ Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       void MPI::Comm::Disconnect()

INPUT
/OUTPUT PARAMETER
       comm	 Communicator (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       IERROR	 Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_Comm_disconnect  waits  for all pending communication on comm to complete internally, deallocates the communicator object, and sets the
       handle to MPI_COMM_NULL. It is a collective operation.

       It may not be called with the communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD or MPI_COMM_SELF.

       MPI_Comm_disconnect may be called only if all communication is complete and matched, so that buffered data can be delivered to its destina-
       tion. This requirement is the same as for MPI_Finalize.

       MPI_Comm_disconnect  has  the same action as MPI_Comm_free, except that it waits for pending communication to finish internally and enables
       the guarantee about the behavior of disconnected processes.

NOTES

       To disconnect two processes you may need to call MPI_Comm_disconnect, MPI_Win_free, and MPI_File_close to remove  all  communication  paths
       between	the  two processes. Note that it may be necessary to disconnect several communicators (or to free several windows or files) before
       two processes are completely independent.

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.
