✨ SERROR(3PVM) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the PVM Version 3.4 manual, section 3PVM, page SERROR 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

pvm_serror — sets automatic error message printing on or off 💅

heads up girlypop: in Version 3.2 this got replaced by pvm_setopt — so like, it's giving legacy, but we still love her 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

C:

int oldset = pvm_serror( int set )

Fortran:

call pvmfserror( set, oldset )

---

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• set — an integer that says whether detection is turned on (1) or off (0). literally the vibe switch 🎚️
• oldset — an integer holding the previous setting of pvm_serror. the receipts from last time, no cap 📸

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the routine pvm_serror sets automatic error message printing for all subsequent PVM calls made by this process. any PVM routines that return an error condition will automatically print the associated error message — it's giving self-reporting, and honestly? obsessed. 👑

the argument set defines whether this detection is to be turned on (1) or turned off (0) for subsequent calls.

⭐ future tea: a value of (2) will, in the future, cause the program to exit after printing the error message. so like, dramatic exit energy. noted. 💀

pvm_serror returns the previous value of set in oldset. iconique behaviour, truly.

also important bestie: all stdout and stderr messages get placed in the file /tmp/pvml.<uid> on the master pvmd's host. that's where the gossip lives 🍓

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

C:

info = pvm_serror( 1 );

Fortran:

CALL PVMFSERROR( 0, INFO )

---

🔥 ERRORS 🔥

this error condition can be returned by pvm_serror:

• PvmBadParam — giving an invalid set value. ma'am that is not a valid number, try again 😭
