SYNOPSIS

C int size = pvm_gsize( char *group )
Fortran call pvmfgsize( group, size )

PARAMETERS

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.

DESCRIPTION

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.

EXAMPLES

C:
        size = pvm_gsize( "worker" );

Fortran:
        CALL PVMFGSIZE( 'group2', SIZE )
