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

NAME
     pvm_config - Returns information about the present virtual machine configu-
     ration.

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 ma-
	     chine.

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

     hostp   Returns pointer to an array of structures which contain information
	     about each host including its pvmd task ID, name, architecture, 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  ma-
     chine.  The information returned is similar to that available from the con-
     sole 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 au-
     tomatically freed or reused on the next call to pvm_config.

     Note  that  in Fortran the reported value of nhost and the  host configura-
     tion do not change until the function resets at the end of a  complete  cy-
     cle.   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.
