pvm_gsize (3PVM)

C	int size = pvm_gsize( char *group )


Fortran	call pvmfgsize( group, size )

group

Character string group name of an existing group.

size

Integer returning the number of members presently in the group. Values less than zero indicate an error.

The routine pvm_gsize returns the size of the group named group. If there is an error size will be negative.

Since groups can change dynamically in PVM 3.0, this routine can only guarantee to return the instantaneous size of a given group.

C:
	size = pvm_gsize( "worker" );

Fortran:
	CALL PVMFGSIZE( 'group2', SIZE )

These error conditions can be returned by pvm_gsize

PvmSysErr

pvmd was not started or has crashed.

PvmBadParam

giving an invalid group name.
