EXIT(3PVM)

✨ EXIT(3PVM) ✨

okay bestie, this is EXIT(3PVM) from PVM Version 3.4 and it's literally the "bye girl, gotta go" function of the whole PVM world 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

pvm_exit — tells the local pvmd that this process is leaving PVM.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

C:

int info = pvm_exit( void )

Fortran:

call pvmfexit( info )

---

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• info — the integer status code this routine hands back to you. Values less than zero mean something went wrong 😭

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the way that pvm_exit works is: it tells the local pvmd that this process is leaving PVM. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🫶

And no, it does not kill the process. Not even a little. Your process can keep on doing tasks just like any other serial process — it's giving "I'm leaving the group chat but I'm still on my phone" energy, fr fr. 🙈

pvm_exit should be called by all PVM processes before they stop or exit for good. And it must be called by processes that were not started with pvm_spawn. No cap, that part's not optional. ⭐

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

C:

/* Program done */
pvm_exit();
exit();

Fortran:

CALL PVMFEXIT(INFO)
STOP

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

• PvmSysErr — pvmd not responding 💀 (it's not answering, bestie, it's ghosting you)
