NAME

       MPI_Cartdim_get  -  Retrieves Cartesian topology information associated with a communicator.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Cartdim_get(MPI_Comm comm, int *ndims)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_CARTDIM_GET(COMM, NDIMS, IERROR)
            INTEGER   COMM, NDIMS, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int Cartcomm::Get_dim() const

INPUT PARAMETER

       comm      Communicator with Cartesian structure (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       ndims     Number of dimensions of the Cartesian structure (integer).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_Cartdim_get returns the number of dimensions of the Cartesian structure.

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.
