\fBMPI_Win_create_errhandler\fP \- Creates an error handler for a window.

.SH DEPRECATED TYPE NAME NOTE
.ft R
MPI-2.2 deprecated the MPI_Win_errhandler_fn and
MPI::Win::Errhandler_fn types in favor of
MPI_Win_errhandler_function and MPI::Win::Errhandler_function,
respectively.  Open MPI supports both names (indeed, the _fn names are
typedefs to the _function names).

.SH INPUT PARAMETER
.ft R
.TP 1i
function
User-defined error-handling procedure (function).

.SH OUTPUT PARAMETERS
.ft R
.TP 1i
errhandler
MPI error handler (handle).
.TP 1i
IERROR
Fortran only: Error status (integer).

.SH DESCRIPTION
.ft R
MPI_Win_create_errhandler should be, in C, a function of type MPI_Win_errhandler_function, which is defined as
.sp
.nf
typedef void MPI_Win_errhandler_function(MPI Win *, int *, ...);
.fi
.sp
The first argument is the window in use, the second is the error code to be returned.
.sp
In Fortran, the user routine should be of the form:
.sp
.nf
SUBROUTINE WIN_ERRHANDLER_FUNCTION(WIN, ERROR_CODE, ...)
    INTEGER WIN, ERROR_CODE
.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.
.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_Win_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.
