NAME

       MPI_Lookup_name - Finds port associated with a service name

SYNTAX


C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Lookup_name(char *service_name, MPI_Info info,
            char *port_name)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_LOOKUP_NAME(SERVICE_NAME, INFO, PORT_NAME, IERROR)
            CHARACTER*(*)  SERVICE_NAME, PORT_NAME
            INTEGER        INFO, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       void MPI::Lookup_name(const char *service_name, const MPI::Info& info,
            char* port_name)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       service_name  A service name (string).

       info          Options  to  the  name  service  functions  (handle).  No
                     options currently supported.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       port_name     a port name (string).

       IERROR        Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       This function retrieves a port_name published under service_name  by  a
       previous  invocation of MPI_Publish_name. The application must supply a
       port_name buffer large enough to hold the largest  possible  port  name
       (i.e., MPI_MAX_PORT_NAME bytes).

       The  info  parameter  should be MPI_INFO_NULL, as this routine does not
       parse any MPI Info arguments.

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
       MPI_Open_port
