NAME

       MPI_Group_excl - Produces a group by reordering an existing group and taking only unlisted
       members.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Group_excl(MPI_Group group, int n, const int ranks[],
            MPI_Group *newgroup)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_GROUP_EXCL(GROUP, N, RANKS, NEWGROUP, IERROR)
            INTEGER   GROUP, N, RANKS(*), NEWGROUP, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       Group Group::Excl(int n, const int ranks[]) const

INPUT PARAMETERS

       group     Group (handle).

       n         Number of elements in array ranks (integer).

       ranks     Array of integer ranks in group not to appear in newgroup.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       newgroup  New group derived from above, preserving the order defined by group (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       The function MPI_Group_excl creates a group of processes  newgroup  that  is  obtained  by
       deleting  from  group those processes with ranks ranks[0], ... ranks[n-1]. The ordering of
       processes in newgroup is identical to the ordering in group. Each of  the  n  elements  of
       ranks must be a valid rank in group and all elements must be distinct; otherwise, the call
       is erroneous. If n = 0, then newgroup is identical to group.

NOTE

       Currently, each of the ranks to exclude must be a valid rank in the group and all elements
       must be distinct or the function is erroneous. This restriction is per the draft.

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.
