NAME

       MPI_Win_test  -  Attempts  to  complete  an  RMA  exposure epoch; a nonblocking version of
       MPI_Win_wait

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Win_test(MPI_Win win, int *flag)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_WIN_TEST( WIN, FLAG, IERROR)
            INTEGER  WIN, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       bool MPI::Win::Test() const

INPUT PARAMETERS

       win       Window object (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

       flag      The returning state of the test for epoch closure.

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_Win_test is a one-sided MPI communication synchronization call, a nonblocking  version
       of  MPI_Win_wait. It returns ag = true if MPI_Win_wait would return, ag = false otherwise.
       The effect of return of MPI_Win_test with flag = true is the  same  as  the  effect  of  a
       return of MPI_Win_wait. If ag = false is returned, then the call has no visible effect.

       Invoke  MPI_Win_test only where MPI_Win_wait can be invoked. Once the call has returned ag
       = true, it must not be invoked anew, until the window is posted anew.

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_Win_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.
