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

name

A unique specifier for the actual (as opposed to virtual) node.

resultlen

Length (in characters) of result returned in name.

IERROR

Fortran only: Error status (integer).

This routine returns the name of the processor on which it was called at the moment of the call. The name is a character string for maximum flexibility. From this value it must be possible to identify a specific piece of hardware. The argument name must represent storage that is at least MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME characters long.

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

The user must provide at least MPI_MAX_PROCESSOR_NAME space to write the processor name; processor names can be this long. The user should examine the output argument, resultlen, to determine the actual length of the name.

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.
