# MPI_Error_class

Converts an error code into an error class

## Synopsis

    #include "mpi.h"
    int MPI_Error_class(
     int errorcode,
     int *errorclass)

## Input Parameter

errorcode
  Error code returned by an MPI routine

## Output Parameter

errorclass
  Error class associated with `errorcode`

## Notes for Fortran

All MPI routines in Fortran (except for `MPI_WTIME` and `MPI_WTICK`) have an additional argument `ierr` at the end of the argument list. `ierr` is an integer and has the same meaning as the return value of the routine in C. In Fortran, MPI routines are subroutines, and are invoked with the `call` statement.

All MPI objects (e.g., `MPI_Datatype`, `MPI_Comm`) are of type `INTEGER` in Fortran.
