NAME

       MPI_Publish_name - Publishes a service name associated with a port

SYNTAX


C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Publish_name(char *service_name, MPI_Info info,
            char *port_name)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_PUBLISH_NAME(SERVICE_NAME, INFO, PORT_NAME, IERROR)
            CHARACTER*(*)  SERVICE_NAME, PORT_NAME
            INTEGER        INFO, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       void MPI::Publish_name(const char* service_name, const MPI::Info& info,
            const char* port_name)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       service_name  A service name (string).

       info          Options  to  the  name  service  functions  (handle).  No
                     options currently supported.

       port_name     A port name (string).

OUTPUT PARAMETER

       IERROR        Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       This routine publishes the pair (service_name, port_name)  so  that  an
       application may retrieve port_name by calling MPI_Lookup_name with ser-
       vice_name as an argument. It is an  error  to  publish  the  same  ser-
       vice_name twice, or to use a port_name argument that was not previously
       opened by the calling process via a call to MPI_Open_port.

       The info parameter should be MPI_INFO_NULL, as this  routine  does  not
       parse any MPI Info arguments.

ERRORS

       Almost  all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value
       of the function and Fortran routines in the last  argument.  C++  func-
       tions  do  not  return  errors.  If the default error handler is set to
       MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS, then on error the C++ exception mechanism
       will be used to throw an MPI:Exception object.

       Before  the  error  value is returned, the current MPI error handler is
       called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job,  except  for
       I/O   function   errors.   The   error  handler  may  be  changed  with
       MPI_Lookup_name
       MPI_Open_port
