NAME

       MPI_Error_string -  Return a string for a given error code

SYNOPSIS

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Error_string(int errcode, char *msg,
                           int *plen)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       errcode
              - Error code returned by an MPI routine or an MPI error class

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       msg    - Text that corresponds to the errorcode
       plen   - Length of string

NOTES

       Error codes are the values return by MPI routines (in C) or in the ierr argument (in Fortran).  These can
       be converted into error classes with the routine MPI_Error_class .

       These  messages  are  provided  in  English  (En_US - English/United States).  If there is an interest in
       providing messages in  different  languages,  please  submit  requests  to  the  LAM  mailing  list  (see
       http://www.lam-mpi.org/contact.php ).

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.

MORE INFORMATION

       For  more  information,  please  see the official MPI Forum web site, which contains the text of both the
       MPI-1 and MPI-2 standards.  These documents contain detailed information about each MPI function (most of
       which is not duplicated in these man pages).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

       The LAM Team would like the thank the MPICH Team for the handy program to generate man  pages  ("doctext"
       from  ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/sowing/sowing.tar.gz ), the initial formatting, and some initial text for
       most of the MPI-1 man pages.
