MPI_Errhandler_set(3OpenMPI)                                                    MPI_Errhandler_set(3OpenMPI)



NAME
       MPI_Errhandler_set  - Sets the error handler for a communicator -- use of this routine is deprecated.


SYNTAX
C Syntax
       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Errhandler_set(MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Errhandler errhandler)


Fortran Syntax
       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_ERRHANDLER_SET(COMM, ERRHANDLER, IERROR)
            INTEGER   COMM, ERRHANDLER, IERROR



INPUT PARAMETERS
       comm      Communicator to set the error handler for (handle).

       errhandler
                 New MPI error handler for communicator (handle).


OUTPUT PARAMETER
       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).


DESCRIPTION
       Note that use of this routine is deprecated as of MPI-2. Please use MPI_Comm_set_errhandler  instead.

       This deprecated routine is not available in C++.

       Associates  the new error handler errhandler with communicator comm at the calling process. Note that
       an error handler is always associated with the communicator.


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.
