NAME

       MPI_Get_processor_name  - Gets the name of the processor.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Get_processor_name(char *name, int *resultlen)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_GET_PROCESSOR_NAME(NAME, RESULTLEN, IERROR)
            CHARACTER*(*)  NAME
            INTEGER        RESULTLEN, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       void Get_processor_name(char* name, int& resultlen)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       name      A unique specifier for the actual (as opposed to virtual) node.

       resultlen Length (in characters) of result returned in name.

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       This routine returns the name of the processor on which it was called at the moment of the call. The name
       is a character string for maximum flexibility. From this value it must be possible to identify a specific
       piece  of  hardware.  The  argument  name  must represent storage that is at least MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME
       characters long.

       The number of characters actually written is returned in the output argument, resultlen.

NOTES

       The user must provide at least MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME space to write the processor name; processor  names
       can  be this long. The user should examine the output argument, resultlen, to determine the actual length
       of the name.

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.
