NAME

       MPI_Win_sync -  Synchronize public and private copies of the given window.

SYNOPSIS

       int MPI_Win_sync(MPI_Win win)

       The  call  MPI_Win_sync  synchronizes  the  private and public window copies of win.  For the purposes of
       synchronizing the private and public window, MPI_Win_sync has the  effect  of  ending  and  reopening  an
       access  and  exposure  epoch  on  the window (note that it does not actually end an epoch or complete any
       pending MPI RMA operations).

INPUT PARAMETERS

       win    - window object (handle)

THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY

       This routine is thread-safe.  This means that this routine may be safely used by multiple threads without
       the  need  for  any  user-provided thread locks.  However, the routine is not interrupt safe.  Typically,
       this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as malloc or other non-MPICH  runtime  routines
       that are themselves not interrupt-safe.

NOTES FOR FORTRAN

       All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK ) have an additional argument ierr at the
       end of the argument list.  ierr is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine
       in C.  In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the call statement.

       All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are of type INTEGER in Fortran.

ERRORS

       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.  Before the value is returned, the current MPI  error
       handler  is called.  By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job.  The error handler may be changed
       with   MPI_Comm_set_errhandler   (for   communicators),   MPI_File_set_errhandler   (for   files),    and
       MPI_Win_set_errhandler  (for  RMA windows).  The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use
       is deprecated.  The predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error  values  to  be
       returned.   Note that MPI does not guarentee that an MPI program can continue past an error; however, MPI
       implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.

       MPI_SUCCESS
              - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
       MPI_ERR_RANK
              - Invalid source or destination rank.  Ranks must be between zero and the size of the communicator
              minus  one;  ranks  in  a  receive  (  MPI_Recv  ,  MPI_Irecv  ,  MPI_Sendrecv , etc.) may also be
              MPI_ANY_SOURCE .

       MPI_ERR_WIN
              - Invalid MPI window object
       MPI_ERR_OTHER
              - Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get more information about this error code.
