NAME

       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 previously set with
       MPI_Win_set_name .  If a name was  not  previously  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
       values  to  be  returned  (in C and Fortran; this error handler is less
       useful in with the C++ MPI  bindings.   The  predefined  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++  bindings  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_Comm_rank ).
       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.

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).
