NAME

       MPI_Get_processor_name -  Gets the name of the processor

SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_Get_processor_name( char *name, int *resultlen )

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       name   -  A  unique specifier for the actual (as opposed to virtual) node. This must be an
              array of size at least MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME .

       resultlen
              - Length (in characters) of the name

NOTES

       The name returned should identify a particular piece of  hardware;  the  exact  format  is
       implementation  defined.   This  name  may  or may not be the same as might be returned by
       gethostname , uname , or sysinfo .

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.

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.

       In  Fortran,  the  character  argument  should  be  declared  as  a  character  string  of
       MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME  rather  than  an array of dimension MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME .  That
       is,
       character*(MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME) name

       rather than
       character name(MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME)

       The two

       The sizes of MPI strings in Fortran are one less than the sizes of that  string  in  C/C++
       because the C/C++ versions provide room for the trailing null character required by C/C++.
       For example, MPI_MAX_ERROR_STRING is mpif.h is one smaller than the same value in mpi.h  .
       See the MPI standard, sections 2.6.2 and 4.12.9.

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.
