MPI_Win_get_name -  Get the name associated with a window


SYNOPSIS

       #include <mpi.h>
       int
       MPI_Win_get_name(MPI_Win win, char *name, int *length)


INPUT PARAMETERS

       type   - MPI window


OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       name   - Name of the window
       length - Integer length of the resulting name


NOTES

       This function returns the name of a window that was previ­
       ously set with MPI_Win_set_name .  If a name was not  pre­
       viously associated with a window, the returned string will
       be empty and length will be 0.  The retuned name will be a
       maximum of MPI_MAX_OBJECT_NAME characters long.


ERRORS

       If  an  error  occurs  in an MPI function, the current MPI
       error handler is called to handle it.   By  default,  this
       error  handler  aborts the MPI job.  The error handler may
       be changed with MPI_Errhandler_set ; the predefined  error
       handler  MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error val­
       ues to be returned (in C and Fortran; this  error  handler
       is  less  useful in with the C++ MPI bindings.  The prede­
       fined error handler MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS should be
       used  in  C++  if  the error value needs to be recovered).
       Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI  program  can
       continue past an error.

       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.  The C++ bind­
       ings for MPI do not return error  values;  instead,  error
       values  are  communicated  by  throwing exceptions of type
       MPI::Exception (but not by default).  Exceptions are  only
       thrown if the error value is not MPI::SUCCESS .

       Note that if the MPI::ERRORS_RETURN handler is set in C++,
       while MPI functions will return upon an error, there  will
       be no way to recover what the actual error value was.
       MPI_SUCCESS
              - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
       MPI_ERR_COMM
              - Invalid communicator.  A common error is to use a
              null communicator in a call (not  even  allowed  in

       MPI_ERR_ARG
              -  Invalid  argument.  Some argument is invalid and
              is not identified by a specific error class.   This
              is typically a NULL pointer or other such error.
