MPI_Pack_size(3OpenMPI) 												   MPI_Pack_size(3OpenMPI)

NAME
MPI_Pack_size - Returns the upper bound on the amount of space needed to pack a message. SYNTAX
C Syntax #include <mpi.h> int MPI_Pack_size(int incount, MPI_Datatype datatype, MPI_Comm comm, int *size) Fortran Syntax INCLUDE 'mpif.h' MPI_PACK_SIZE(INCOUNT, DATATYPE, COMM, SIZE, IERROR) INTEGER INCOUNT, DATATYPE, COMM, SIZE, IERROR C++ Syntax #include <mpi.h> int Datatype::Pack_size(int incount, const Comm& comm) const INPUT PARAMETERS
incount Count argument to packing call (integer). datatype Datatype argument to packing call (handle). comm Communicator argument to packing call (handle). OUTPUT PARAMETERS
size Upper bound on size of packed message, in bytes (integer). IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer). DESCRIPTION
MPI_Pack_size allows the application to find out how much space is needed to pack a message. A call to MPI_Pack_size(incount, datatype, comm, size) returns in size an upper bound on the increment in position that would occur in a call to MPI_Pack, with the same values for incount, datatype, and comm. Rationale: The call returns an upper bound, rather than an exact bound, since the exact amount of space needed to pack the message may depend on the context (e.g., first message packed in a packing unit may take more space). 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. SEE ALSO

NAME
MPI_Errhandler_set - Sets the error handler for a communicator -- use of this routine is deprecated. SYNTAX
C Syntax #include <mpi.h> int MPI_Errhandler_set(MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Errhandler errhandler) Fortran Syntax INCLUDE 'mpif.h' MPI_ERRHANDLER_SET(COMM, ERRHANDLER, IERROR) INTEGER COMM, ERRHANDLER, IERROR INPUT PARAMETERS
comm Communicator to set the error handler for (handle). errhandler New MPI error handler for communicator (handle). OUTPUT PARAMETER
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer). DESCRIPTION
Note that use of this routine is deprecated as of MPI-2. Please use MPI_Comm_set_errhandler instead. This deprecated routine is not available in C++. Associates the new error handler errhandler with communicator comm at the calling process. Note that an error handler is always associated with the communicator. ERRORS
