MPI_Is_thread_main(3)

NAME
MPI_Is_thread_main - Determines if thread called MPI_Init

SYNTAX

C Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
int MPI_Is_thread_main(int *flag)

Fortran Syntax
USE MPI
! or the older form: INCLUDE 'mpif.h'
MPI_IS_THREAD_MAIN(FLAG, IERROR)
	LOGICAL	FLAG
	INTEGER	IERROR

Fortran 2008 Syntax
USE mpi_f08
MPI_Is_thread_main(flag, ierror)
	LOGICAL, INTENT(OUT) :: flag
	INTEGER, OPTIONAL, INTENT(OUT) :: ierror

C++ Syntax
#include <mpi.h>
bool MPI::Is_thread_main()

OUTPUT PARAMETERS

flag
    True if calling thread is main thread (boolean).

IERROR
    Fortran only: Error status (integer).

DESCRIPTION
MPI_Is_thread_main is called by a thread to find out whether the caller is the main thread (that is, the thread that called MPI_Init or MPI_Init_thread).

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++ 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.

See the MPI man page for a full list of MPI error codes.
