Scilab function

pvm_joingroup - enrolls the calling process in a named group.

### Sequence d'appel

  `[inum] = pvm_joingroup(group)`

### Parametres

- `group` : string, string group name of an existing group.
- `inum` : integer, instance number returned by the routine.

### Description

`pvm_joingroup` enrolls the calling task in the group named

and returns the instance number

of this task in this group. If there is an error

will be negative.

Instance numbers start at 0 and count up. When using groups a (group, inum) pair uniquely identifies a PVM process. This is consistent with the PVM 2.4 naming schemes. If a task leaves a group by calling pvm_lvgroup and later rejoins the same group, the task is not guaranteed to get the same instance number. PVM attempts to reuse old instance numbers, so when a task joins a group it will get the lowest available instance number. A task can be a member of multiple groups simultaneously.
