SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Comm_set_errhandler(MPI_Comm comm,
            MPI_Errhandler errhandler)

Fortran Syntax

       USE MPI
       ! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_COMM_SET_ERRHANDLER(COMM, ERRHANDLER, IERROR)
            INTEGER   COMM, ERRHANDLER, IERROR

Fortran 2008 Syntax

       MPI_Comm_set_errhandler(comm, errhandler, ierror)
            TYPE(MPI_Comm), INTENT(IN) :: comm
            TYPE(MPI_Errhandler), INTENT(IN) :: errhandler
            INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>

INPUT/OUTPUT PARAMETER

       comm      Communicator (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       errhandler
                 New error handler for communicator (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_Comm_set_errhandler  attaches a new error handler to a communicator. The error handler must be either
       a predefined error handler or an error handler created by a call to MPI_Comm_create_errhandler. This call
       is identical to MPI_Errhandler_set, the use of which is deprecated.

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.
