NAME

       MPI_Win_get_name -  Get the name associated with a window

SYNOPSIS

       #include <mpi.h>
       int
       MPI_Win_get_name(MPI_Win win, char *name, int *length)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       type   - MPI window

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       name   - Name of the window
       length - Integer length of the resulting name

NOTES

       This function returns the name of a window that was previously set with MPI_Win_set_name .  If a name was
       not previously associated with a window, the returned string will be empty and length  will  be  0.   The
       retuned name will be a maximum of MPI_MAX_OBJECT_NAME characters long.

ERRORS

       If an error occurs in an MPI function, the current MPI error handler is called to handle it.  By default,
       this error handler aborts the MPI job.  The error handler may be changed with  MPI_Errhandler_set  ;  the
       predefined  error  handler  MPI_ERRORS_RETURN  may be used to cause error values to be returned (in C and
       Fortran; this error handler is less useful in with the C++ MPI bindings.  The  predefined  error  handler
       MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS  should be used in C++ if the error value needs to be recovered).  Note that
       MPI does not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.

       All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value; C routines as the value of  the
       function and Fortran routines in the last argument.  The C++ bindings for MPI do not return error values;
       instead, error values are communicated  by  throwing  exceptions  of  type  MPI::Exception  (but  not  by
       default).  Exceptions are only thrown if the error value is not MPI::SUCCESS .

       Note that if the MPI::ERRORS_RETURN handler is set in C++, while MPI functions will return upon an error,
       there will be no way to recover what the actual error value was.
       MPI_SUCCESS
              - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
       MPI_ERR_COMM
              - Invalid communicator.  A common error is to use a null communicator in a call (not even  allowed
              in MPI_Comm_rank ).
       MPI_ERR_ARG
              -  Invalid  argument.   Some  argument is invalid and is not identified by a specific error class.
              This is typically a NULL pointer or other such error.
