NAME

       MPI_Group_excl  -  Produces a group by reordering an existing group and
       taking only unlisted members.

SYNTAX


C Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       int MPI_Group_excl(MPI_Group group, int n, int *ranks,
            MPI_Group *newgroup)

Fortran Syntax

       INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
       MPI_GROUP_EXCL(GROUP, N, RANKS, NEWGROUP, IERROR)
            INTEGER   GROUP, N, RANKS(*), NEWGROUP, IERROR

C++ Syntax

       #include <mpi.h>
       Group Group::Excl(int n, const int ranks[]) const

INPUT PARAMETERS

       group     Group (handle).

       n         Number of elements in array ranks (integer).

       ranks     Array of integer ranks in group not to appear in newgroup.

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

       newgroup  New group derived from above, preserving the order defined by
                 group (handle).

       IERROR    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION

       The  function MPI_Group_excl creates a group of processes newgroup that
       is obtained by deleting from group those processes with ranks ranks[0],
       ...  ranks[n-1].  The ordering of processes in newgroup is identical to
       the ordering in group. Each of the n elements of ranks must be a  valid
       rank in group and all elements must be distinct; otherwise, the call is
       erroneous. If n = 0, then newgroup is identical to group.

NOTE

       Currently, each of the ranks to exclude must be a  valid  rank  in  the
       group  and  all elements must be distinct or the function is erroneous.
       This restriction is per the draft.

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
