NAME

       MPI_Errhandler_create -  Creates an MPI-style errorhandler

SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_Errhandler_create(MPI_Handler_function *function,
                                 MPI_Errhandler *errhandler)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       function
              - user defined error handling procedure

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       errhandler
              - MPI error handler (handle)

NOTES

       The  MPI  Standard  states  that  an implementation may make the output value (errhandler)
       simply the address of the function.  However, the action of MPI_Errhandler_free makes this
       impossible, since it is required to set the value of the argument to MPI_ERRHANDLER_NULL .
       In addition, the actual error handler must remain until all communicators that use it  are
       freed.

THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY

       This  routine is thread-safe.  This means that this routine may be safely used by multiple
       threads without the need for any user-provided thread locks.  However, the routine is  not
       interrupt  safe.   Typically, this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as
       malloc or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.

DEPRECATED FUNCTION

       The MPI-2 standard deprecated a number of routines because MPI-2 provides better versions.
       This  routine  is  one of those that was deprecated.  The routine may continue to be used,
       but new code should use  the  replacement  routine.   The  replacement  routine  for  this
       function is MPI_Comm_create_errhandler .

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.

ERRORS

       All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value;  C  routines  as
       the  value of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument.  Before the value is
       returned, the current MPI error handler is called.  By default, this error handler  aborts
       the  MPI  job.   The  error  handler  may  be  changed  with  MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for
       communicators), MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and MPI_Win_set_errhandler  (for  RMA
       windows).   The  MPI-1  routine  MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is deprecated.
       The predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause  error  values  to  be
       returned.   Note  that  MPI  does  not  guarentee that an MPI program can continue past an
       error; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.

       MPI_SUCCESS
              - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
       MPI_ERR_INTERN
              - This error is returned when some part of the MPICH implementation  is  unable  to
              acquire memory.
