NAME

       MPI_Errhandler_get   - Gets the error handler for a communicator -- use
       of this routine is deprecated.

SYNTAX


C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Errhandler_get(MPI_Comm comm, MPI_Errhandler *errhandler)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_ERRHANDLER_GET(COMM, ERRHANDLER, IERROR)
            INTEGER   COMM, ERRHANDLER, IERROR

INPUT PARAMETER

       comm      Communicator to get the error handler from (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       errhandler
                 MPI error  handler  currently  associated  with  communicator
                 (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       Note  that  use  of  this routine is deprecated as of MPI-2. Please use
       MPI_Comm_get_errhandler instead.

       This deprecated routine is not available in C++.

       Returns in errhandler (a handle to) the error handler that is currently
       associated with communicator comm.

       Example: A library function may register at its entry point the current
       error handler for a communicator, set its own private error handler for
       this  communicator,  and restore before exiting the previous error han-
       dler.

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_Comm_set_errhandler; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN
       may be used to cause error values to be returned. Note  that  MPI  does
