NAME
MPI_Cartdim_get - Retrieves Cartesian topology information associated
with a communicator.
SYNTAX
C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Cartdim_get(MPI_Comm comm, int *ndims)
Fortran Syntax
INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_CARTDIM_GET(COMM, NDIMS, IERROR)
INTEGER COMM, NDIMS, IERROR
C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int Cartcomm::Get_dim() const
INPUT PARAMETER
comm Communicator with Cartesian structure (handle).
OUTPUT PARAMETERS
ndims Number of dimensions of the Cartesian structure (integer).
IERROR Fortran only: Error status (integer).
DESCRIPTION
MPI_Cartdim_get returns the number of dimensions of the Cartesian
structure.
ERRORS
Almost all MPI routines return an error value; C routines as the value
of the function and Fortran routines in the last argument. C++ func-
tions 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.
