MPI_Error_string(3)						      LAM/MPI						       MPI_Error_string(3)

NAME
       MPI_Error_string -  Return a string for a given error code

SYNOPSIS
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Error_string(int errcode, char *msg,
	      int *plen)

INPUT PARAMETERS
       errcode
	      - Error code returned by an MPI routine or an MPI error class

OUTPUT PARAMETER
       msg    - Text that corresponds to the errorcode
       plen   - Length of string

NOTES
       Error  codes  are the values return by MPI routines (in C) or in the ierr argument (in Fortran).  These can be converted into error classes
       with the routine MPI_Error_class
	.

       These messages are provided in English (En_US - English/United States).	If there is an interest in providing messages  in  different  lan-
       guages, please submit requests to the LAM mailing list (see http://www.lam-mpi.org/contact.php ).

NOTES FOR FORTRAN
       All  MPI  routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have an additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list.  ierr
       is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine in C.	In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are  invoked
       with the call statement.

       All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran.

MORE INFORMATION
       For  more  information,	please	see the official MPI Forum web site, which contains the text of both the MPI-1 and MPI-2 standards.  These
       documents contain detailed information about each MPI function (most of which is not duplicated in these man pages).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
       The LAM Team would like the thank the MPICH Team for the handy program to generate man pages ("doctext" from ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/sow-
       ing/sowing.tar.gz ), the initial formatting, and some initial text for most of the MPI-1 man pages.
