MPI_Abort(3)			      MPI			  MPI_Abort(3)

NAME
       MPI_Abort -  Terminates MPI execution environment

SYNOPSIS
       int MPI_Abort(MPI_Comm comm, int	errorcode)

INPUT PARAMETERS
       comm   -	communicator of	tasks to abort
       errorcode
	      -	error code to return to	invoking environment

NOTES
       Terminates all MPI processes associated with the	communicator comm ; in
       most systems (all to date), terminates all processes.

THREAD AND INTERRUPT SAFETY
       The user	is responsible for ensuring that multiple threads do  not  try
       to  update  the	same  MPI object from different	threads.  This routine
       should not be used from within a	signal handler.

       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.  Because the	MPI_Abort rou-
       tine is intended	to ensure that an MPI process (and possibly an	entire
       job),  it cannot	wait for a thread to release a lock or other mechanism
       for atomic access.

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 guarentee	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.
