MPI_Group_translate_ranks(3)

NAME
MPI_Group_translate_ranks - Translates the ranks of processes in one group to those in another group

SYNOPSIS
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Group_translate_ranks(MPI_Group g1, int n,
                            int *r1, MPI_Group g2, int *r2)

INPUT PARAMETERS
g1  - group1 (handle)
n   - number of ranks in r1 and r2 arrays (integer)
r1  - array of zero or more valid ranks in g1
g2  - group2 (handle)

OUTPUT PARAMETER
r2  - array of corresponding ranks in g2 , MPI_UNDEFINED when no correspondence exists.

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.

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_GROUP
    - Null group passed to function.
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.
MPI_ERR_RANK
    - Invalid source or destination rank. Ranks must be between zero and the size of the communicator minus one; ranks in a receive ( MPI_Recv , MPI_Irecv , MPI_Sendrecv , etc.) may also be MPI_ANY_SOURCE .

MORE INFORMATION

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The LAM Team would like the thank the MPICH Team for the handy program to generate man pages ("doctext" from ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/sowing/sowing.tar.gz ), the initial formatting, and some initial text for most of the MPI-1 man pages.
