       rank      Rank of process in group of comm (integer).

       maxneighbors
                 Size of array neighbors (integer).

DESCRIPTION
       Example:  Suppose that comm is a communicator with a shuffle-exchange topology. The group has 2n mem-bers. members.
       bers. Each process is labeled by a(1), ..., a(n) with a(i) E{0,1}, and has three neighbors:  exchange
       (a(1), ...,  a(n) = a(1), ..., a(n-1), a(n) (a = 1 - a), shuffle (a(1), ..., a(n)) = a(2), ..., a(n),
       a(1), and unshuffle (a(1), ..., a(n)) = a(n), a(1), ..., a(n-1). The graph adjacency list  is  illus-trated illustrated
       trated below for n=3.

       Suppose  that the communicator comm has this topology associated with it. The following code fragment
       cycles through the three types of neighbors and performs an appropriate permutation for each.

       C  assume: each process has stored a real number A.
       C  extract neighborhood information
             CALL MPI_COMM_RANK(comm, myrank, ierr)
             CALL MPI_GRAPH_NEIGHBORS(comm, myrank, 3, neighbors, ierr)
       C  perform exchange permutation
             CALL MPI_SENDRECV_REPLACE(A, 1, MPI_REAL, neighbors(1), 0,
            +     neighbors(1), 0, comm, status, ierr)
       C  perform shuffle permutation
             CALL MPI_SENDRECV_REPLACE(A, 1, MPI_REAL, neighbors(2), 0,
            +     neighbors(3), 0, comm, status, ierr)
       C  perform unshuffle permutation
             CALL MPI_SENDRECV_REPLACE(A, 1, MPI_REAL, neighbors(3), 0,
            +     neighbors(2), 0, comm, status, ierr)


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.
