NAME

MPI_Topo_test - Determines the type of topology (if any) associated with a communicator.

SYNTAX

C Syntax

#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Topo_test(MPI_Comm comm, int *top_type)

Fortran Syntax

USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_TOPO_TEST(COMM, TOP_TYPE, IERROR)
	INTEGER	COMM, TOP_TYPE, IERROR

C++ Syntax

#include <mpi.h>
int Comm::Get_topology() const

INPUT PARAMETER

comm: Communicator (handle).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

top_type: Topology type of communicator comm (choice).
IERROR: Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

The function MPI_Topo_test returns the type of topology that is assigned to a communicator.

The output value top_type is one of the following:



    MPI_GRAPH		graph topology


    MPI_CART		Cartesian topology


    MPI_DIST_GRAPH	distributed graph topology


    MPI_UNDEFINED	no topology

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++ functions 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.
