Synopsis

int MPI_T_category_get_info(int cat_index, char *name, int *name_len,
                            char *desc, int *desc_len, int *num_cvars,
                            int *num_pvars, int *num_categories)

Input Parameters

cat_index

index of the category to be queried (integer)

Input/Output Parameters

name_len

length of the string and/or buffer for name (integer)

desc_len

length of the string and/or buffer for desc (integer)

Output Parameters

name

buffer to return the string containing the name of the category (string)

desc

buffer to return the string containing the description of the category (string)

num_cvars

number of control variables in the category (integer)

num_pvars

number of performance variables in the category (integer)

num_categories

number of categories contained in the category (integer)

Thread and Interrupt Safety

This routine is thread-safe. This means that this routine may be safely used by multiple threads without the need for any user-provided thread locks. However, the routine is not interrupt safe. Typically, this is due to the use of memory allocation routines such as 'malloc' or other non-MPICH runtime routines that are themselves not interrupt-safe.

Errors

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. Before the value is returned, the current MPI error handler is called. By default, this error handler aborts the MPI job. The error handler may be changed with 'MPI_Comm_set_errhandler' (for communicators), 'MPI_File_set_errhandler' (for files), and 'MPI_Win_set_errhandler' (for RMA windows). The MPI-1 routine 'MPI_Errhandler_set' may be used but its use is deprecated. 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; however, MPI implementations will attempt to continue whenever possible.

  • MPI_SUCCESS - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.

  • MPI_T_ERR_INVALID_INDEX - Index is invalid or has been deleted.

  • MPI_T_ERR_NOT_INITIALIZED - The MPI tool information interface is not initialized.

  • MPI_ERR_OTHER - Other error; use 'MPI_Error_string' to get more information about this error code.
