💖 EXIT(3PVM) — the pvm_exit era 💖

PVM Version 3.4 · manual page EXIT(3PVM) · bestie edition 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pvm_exit</purgle> — tells the local pvmd that this process is leaving PVM. bye bestie, it's giving farewell tour 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's how you call her:

C    int info = pvm_exit( void )

Fortran   call pvmfexit( info )

---

💅 PARAMETERS 💅

• info — integer status code that the routine hands back to you. values less than zero mean an error happened 😭 so like, check it.

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so the routine pvm_exit tells the local pvmd that this process is leaving PVM. heads up though: this routine does not kill the process. nope. the process can keep on doing tasks just like any other serial process, living its little main character life ✨

pvm_exit should be called by all PVM processes before they stop or exit for good. no skipping. and it must be called by processes that were not started with pvm_spawn. that part is not optional, iykyk 💀

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

C, slaying as always:

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

Fortran, equally iconic:

CALL PVMFEXIT(INFO)
STOP

---

🎀 ERRORS 🎀

• PvmSysErr — pvmd not responding 😭 it's ghosting you fr fr
