CONFIG(3PVM)			PVM Version 3.4			  CONFIG(3PVM)

NAME
       pvm_config - Returns information	about the present virtual machine con-
       figuration.

SYNOPSIS
       C    int	info = pvm_config( int *nhost, int *narch, struct pvmhostinfo **hostp )
	    struct pvmhostinfo {
		 int  hi_tid;
		 char *hi_name;
		 char *hi_arch;
		 int  hi_speed;
	    };

       Fortran	 call pvmfconfig( nhost, narch,	dtid, name, arch, speed, info )

PARAMETERS
       nhost   Integer	returning  the	number of hosts	(pvmds)	in the virtual
	       machine.

       narch   Integer returning the number of different  data	formats	 being
	       used.

       hostp   Returns	pointer	to an array of structures which	contain	infor-
	       mation about each host including	its pvmd task ID, name,	archi-
	       tecture,	and relative speed.

       dtid    Integer returning pvmd task ID for host

       name    Character string	returning name of host

       arch    Character string	returning architecture name of host

       speed   Integer returning relative speed	 of  host.  Default  value  is
	       1000.

       info    Integer	status code returned by	the routine.  Values less than
	       zero indicate an	error.

DESCRIPTION
       The routine pvm_config returns information about	 the  present  virtual
       machine.	The information	returned is similar to that available from the
       console command conf.

       The  C function returns information about the entire virtual machine in
       one call. The Fortran function returns information about	one  host  per
       call  and  cycles through all the hosts.	 Thus, if pvmfconfig is	called
       nhost times, the	entire virtual machine will be represented.

       Note that in C the hostp	array is allocated and owned by	libpvm.	 It is
       automatically freed or reused on	the next call to pvm_config.

       Note that in Fortran the	reported value of nhost	and the	 host configu-
       ration do not change until the function resets at the end of a complete
       cycle.  The user	can reset pvmfconfig() at any time by calling it  with
       nhost = -1.

       If pvm_config is	successful, info will be 0.  If	some error occurs then
       info will be < 0.

EXAMPLES
       C:
	    struct pvmhostinfo *hostp;
	    int	i, nhost, narch;

	    info = pvm_config( &nhost, &narch, &hostp );
	    for	(i = 0;	i < nhost; i++)
		 printf("%s\n",	hostp[i].hi_name);

       Fortran:
	    Do i=1, NHOST
	      CALL PVMFCONFIG( NHOST,NARCH,DTID(i),HOST(i),ARCH(i),SPEED(i),INFO )
	    Enddo

ERRORS
       The following error condition can be returned by	pvm_config

       PvmSysErr
	      pvmd not responding.
