*MPI_Error_string * - Returns a string for a given error code.

  	CHARACTER*(*)	STRING

  USE mpi_f08

  	INTEGER, INTENT(IN) :: errorcode
  	CHARACTER(LEN=MPI_MAX_ERROR_STRING), INTENT(OUT) :: string

  	INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

  #include <mpi.h>
  void Get_error_string(int errorcode, char* name, int& resultlen)

errorcode

Error code returned by an MPI routine or an MPI error class.

string

Text that corresponds to the errorcode.

resultlen

Length of string.

IERROR

Fortran only: Error status (integer).

Returns the error string associated with an error code or class. The argument string must represent storage that is at least MPI_MAX_ERROR_STRING characters long.

The number of characters actually written is returned in the output argument, resultlen.

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.
