Returns the tid of the process identified by a group name and instance number.
C int tid = pvm_gettid( char *group, int inum ) Fortran call pvmfgettid( group, inum, tid )
Character string that contains the name of an existing group.
Integer instance number of the process in the group.
Integer task identifier returned.
The routine pvm_gettid returns the tid of the PVM process identified by the group name group and the instance number inum. If pvm_gettid is successful, tid will be > 0. If some error occurs then tid will be < 0.
C: tid = pvm_gettid("worker",0); Fortran: CALL PVMFGETTID('worker',5,TID)
These error conditions can be returned by pvm_gettid.
Can not contact the local pvmd; most likely it is not running.
Bad Parameter most likely a NULL character string.
No group exists by that name.
No such instance in the group.
