.SH INPUT PARAMETER
.ft R

comm
Communicator (handle).

Topology type of communicator comm (choice).

.SH DESCRIPTION
.ft R
The function MPI_Topo_test returns the type of topology that is assigned to a communicator.
.sp
The output value \fItop_type\fP is one of the following:
.sp
.nf
    MPI_GRAPH		graph topology
    MPI_CART		Cartesian topology
    MPI_DIST_GRAPH	distributed graph topology
    MPI_UNDEFINED	no topology

.fi
.SH 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.
.sp
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.
