DESCRIPTION

       The routine pvm_getopt returns the value of the specified option in PVM.  For a discussion
       of options and values, see pvm_setopt.

       If an error occurs, the PVM error code is returned in place of the option value.

EXAMPLES

       C:
            val = pvm_getopt( PvmFragSize );
       Fortran:
            CALL PVMFGETOPT( PVMAUTOERR, VAL )

ERRORS

       This error condition can be returned

       PvmBadParam
              giving an invalid value.
