NAME

       MPI_Unpublish_name - Unpublishes a service name

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Unpublish_name(char *service_name, MPI_Info info,
            char *port_name)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_UNPUBLISH_NAME(SERVICE_NAME, INFO, PORT_NAME, IERROR)
            CHARACTER*(*)  SERVICE_NAME, PORT_NAME
            INTEGER        INFO, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       void MPI::Unpublish_name(const char* service_name, const MPI::Info& info,
            char* port_name)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       service_name  A service name (string).

       info          Options to the name service functions (handle).

       port_name     A port name (string).

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       IERROR        Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       This routine removes the pair (service_name, port_name) so that applications may no longer
       retrieve port_name by calling MPI_Lookup_name. It is an error to unpublish a  service_name
       that was not published via MPI_Publish_name. Both the service_name and port_name arguments
       to MPI_Unpublish_name must  be  identical  to  the  arguments  to  the  previous  call  to
       MPI_Publish_name.

INFO ARGUMENTS

       The following keys for info are recognized:

       Key                   Type      Description
       ---                   ----      -----------

       ompi_global_scope     bool      If set to true, unpublish the name from
                                       the global scope.  Unpublish from the local
                                       scope otherwise.  See the NAME SCOPE
                                       section for more details.

       bool info keys are actually strings but are evaluated as follows: if the string value is a
       number, it is converted to an integer and cast to a boolean (meaning  that  zero  integers
       are  false and non-zero values are true).  If the string value is (case-insensitive) "yes"
       or "true", the boolean is true.   If  the  string  value  is  (case-insensitive)  "no"  or
       "false",  the  boolean  is false.  All other string values are unrecognized, and therefore
       false.

       If no info key is provided, the function will first check to see if a  global  server  has
       been specified and is available. If so, then the unpublish function will default to global
       scope first, followed by local. Otherwise, the data will default to unpublish  with  local
       scope.

NAME SCOPE

       Open  MPI  supports  two name scopes: global and local. Local scope values are placed in a
       data store located on the mpirun of the calling process' job, while  global  scope  values
       reside  on  a central server. Calls to MPI_Unpublish_name must correctly specify the scope
       to be used in finding the value to be removed. The function will return an  error  if  the
       specified service name is not found on the indicated location.

       For  a  more  detailed  description  of scoping rules, please see the MPI_Publish_name man
       page.

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.

       See the MPI man page for a full list of MPI error codes.
