NAME

       MPI_Info_create - Creates a new info object.

SYNTAX


C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Info_create(MPI_Info *info)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_INFO_CREATE(INFO, IERROR)
            INTEGER   INFO, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       static MPI::Info MPI::Info::Create()

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       info      Info object created (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       MPI_Info_create  creates  a  new  info object. The newly created object
       contains no key/value pairs.

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
       not guarantee that an MPI program can continue past an error.
