MPI_Comm_set_errhandler(3)	       MPI	      MPI_Comm_set_errhandler(3)

NAME
     MPI_Comm_set_errhandler -	Set the error handler for a communicator

SYNOPSIS
     int MPI_Comm_set_errhandler(MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Errhandler errhandler)

INPUT PARAMETERS
     comm   - communicator (handle)
     errhandler
	    - new error handler for communicator (handle)

THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY
     This  routine  is thread and interrupt safe only if no MPI routine that up-
     dates or frees the same MPI object may be	called	concurrently  with  this
     routine.

     The  MPI  standard  defined  a thread-safe interface but this does not mean
     that all routines may be called without any thread locks.	For example, two
     threads must not attempt to change the contents of the same MPI_Info object
     concurrently.  The user is responsible in this case for using  some  mecha-
     nism,  such as thread locks, to ensure that only one thread at a time makes
     use of this routine.

NOTES FOR FORTRAN
     All MPI routines in Fortran (except for MPI_WTIME and MPI_WTICK )	have  an
     additional argument ierr at the end of the argument list.	ierr is an inte-
     ger  and  has the same meaning as the return value of the routine in C.  In
     Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the call state-
     ment.

     All MPI objects (e.g., MPI_Datatype , MPI_Comm ) are  of  type  INTEGER  in
     Fortran.

ERRORS
     All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value; C
     routines  as the value of the function and Fortran routines in the last ar-
     gument.  Before the value is returned, the current  MPI  error  handler  is
     called.  By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job.  The error han-
     dler  may	be  changed  with  MPI_Comm_set_errhandler  (for communicators),
     MPI_File_set_errhandler (for files), and  MPI_Win_set_errhandler  (for  RMA
     windows).	 The MPI-1 routine MPI_Errhandler_set may be used but its use is
     deprecated.  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;  however,  MPI  implementations
     will attempt to continue whenever possible.

     MPI_SUCCESS
	    - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
     MPI_ERR_COMM
	    -  Invalid communicator.  A common error is to use a null communica-
	    tor in a call (not even allowed in MPI_Comm_rank ).
     MPI_ERR_OTHER
	    - Other error; use MPI_Error_string to get	more  information  about
	    this error code.
