INSERT(3PVM)							  PVM Version 3.4						      INSERT(3PVM)

NAME

       pvm_insert - store data in pvmd database
       [In Version 3.4: Relaced by pvm_putinfo]

SYNOPSIS

       C    int cc = pvm_insert( char *name, int index, int data )

       Fortran	 Not available

PARAMETERS

       name    The class name, a null-terminated string.

       index   The class index, >= 0 or -1 for first available.

       data    Data to store in the <name, index> entry.

DESCRIPTION

       The master pvmd maintains a simple database, which can be used to store values such as tids and make them accessible anywhere within a vir-
       tual machine.  This is useful when building an application such as the group server, which must advertise its task id so clients can regis-
       ter send messages to register.

       The  database  stores integer data, indexed by <name, index> pairs.  The name may be any null-terminated string and the index any non-nega-
       tive integer.  Database entries are grouped by name into classes; index may be specified as -1 to store or  retrieve  the  first  available
       instance in a class.

       These functions are not part of the group library, but are the underlying mechanism used to implement it.

       pvm_insert stores data at the given index.  If index is -1, the data is stored at the first available index in the named class, starting at
       0.

ERRORS

       If successful, pvm_insert returns the index at which the data was stored, otherwise it returns a negative result.  The following error con-
       ditions can be returned:

       PvmBadParam
	      giving an invalid argument value.

       PvmDupEntry
	      the requested <name, index> pair is already in use.
