NAME

       MPI_Group_free  - Frees a group.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Group_free(MPI_Group *group)

Fortran Syntax

       USE MPI
       ! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_GROUP_FREE(GROUP, IERROR)
            INTEGER   GROUP, IERROR

Fortran 2008 Syntax

       USE mpi_f08
       MPI_Group_free(group, ierror)
            TYPE(MPI_Group), INTENT(INOUT) :: group
            INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       void Group::Free()

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER

       group     Group (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       This  operation  marks  a  group  object  for  deallocation.  The  handle  group is set to
       MPI_GROUP_NULL by the call. Any ongoing operation using this group will complete normally.

NOTE

       On return, group is set to MPI_GROUP_NULL.

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++ functions 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.
