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.

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

       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
