MPI_Comm_get_errhandler(3)	      MPI	    MPI_Comm_get_errhandler(3)

NAME
       MPI_Comm_get_errhandler -  Get the error	handler	attached to a communi-
       cator

SYNOPSIS
       int MPI_Comm_get_errhandler(MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Errhandler *errhandler)

INPUT PARAMETERS
       comm   -	communicator (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETERS
       errhandler
	      -	error handler currently	associated with	communicator (handle)

NOTE ON	IMPLEMENTATION
       The  MPI	Standard was unclear on	whether	this routine required the user
       to call MPI_Errhandler_free once	for each call made to this routine  in
       order  to  free	the  error  handler.  After some debate, the MPI Forum
       added an	explicit statement that	users are required to call MPI_Errhan-
       dler_free when the return value from this routine is no longer  needed.
       This behavior is	similar	to the other MPI routines for getting objects;
       for  example, MPI_Comm_group requires that the user call	MPI_Group_free
       when the	group returned by MPI_Comm_group is no longer needed.

THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY
       This routine is thread and interrupt safe only if no MPI	 routine  that
       updates	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  mechanism,	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 integer 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	statement.

       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	argument.  Before the value is returned, the current MPI error
       handler is called.  By default, this error handler aborts the MPI  job.
       The error handler may be	changed	with MPI_Comm_set_errhandler (for com-
       municators),  MPI_File_set_errhandler  (for files), and MPI_Win_set_er-
       rhandler	(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	 when-
       ever possible.

       MPI_SUCCESS
	      -	No error; MPI routine completed	successfully.
       MPI_ERR_ARG
	      -	Invalid	argument.  Some	argument is invalid and	is not identi-
	      fied by a	specific error class (e.g., MPI_ERR_RANK ).
       MPI_ERR_COMM
	      -	 Invalid communicator.	A common error is to use a null	commu-
	      nicator 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.
