NAME

       MPI_Cart_coords - Determines process coords in Cartesian topology given
       rank in group.

SYNTAX


C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Cart_coords(MPI_Comm comm, int rank, int maxdims,
            int *coords)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_CART_COORDS(COMM, RANK, MAXDIMS, COORDS, IERROR)
            INTEGER   COMM, RANK, MAXDIMS, COORDS(*), IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       void Cartcomm::Get_coords(int rank, int maxdims,
            int coords[]) const

INPUT PARAMETERS

       comm      Communicator with Cartesian structure (handle).

       rank      Rank of a process within group of comm (integer).

       maxdims    Length of vector coord in the calling program (integer).

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       coords    Integer  array  (of   size   ndims,which   was   defined   by
                 MPI_Cart_create call) containing the Cartesian coordinates of
                 specified process (integer).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       The inverse mapping, rank-to-coordinates  translation  is  provided  by
       MPI_Cart_coords.

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.
