NAME

       MPI_Error_class  - Converts an error code into an error class.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Error_class(int errorcode, int *errorclass)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_ERROR_CLASS(ERRORCODE, ERRORCLASS, IERROR)
            INTEGER   ERRORCODE, ERRORCLASS, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int Get_error_class(int errorcode)

INPUT PARAMETER

       errorcode Error code returned by an MPI routine.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       errorclass
                 Error class associated with errorcode.

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       The function MPI_Error_class maps each standard error code (error class) onto itself.

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.
